LoMo, Rays swing big sticks in win vs. Sox

Chris Archer rode all that offense to his third consecutive strong performance to start the season, holding the Red Sox to six hits and a run over 5 2/3 innings. The righty is 2-0 with a 2.21 ERA.

Porcello's streak of 43 regular-season starts of at least five innings came to an end, as the righty gave up eight hits and eight runs over 4 2/3 innings. The four home runs allowed were a career high for Porcello, who is 1-1 with a 7.56 ERA.

The Red Sox scored three in the ninth against reliever Austin Pruitt, before Rays manager Kevin Cash called on closer Alex Colome to get the final two outs.
