After an incredible start to Chris Archer’s return to Tropicana Field, things turned ugly.

With one out in the top of the third inning Chris Archer gave up a single to DJ LeMahieu, which turned into a double after Austin Meadows misplayed the ball in left. That would turn out to be the last pitch Archer would throw.

After shaking his arm a couple of times, and looking into the Rays dugout, Archer called Rays catcher Francisco Mejia to the mound.
