The Rays took three out of four in the series and now trail the Red Sox by just 3 1/2 games in the American League East.
David Price, pitching against his protege and former teammate Archer, turned in another strong effort for the Red Sox. The lefty held the Rays to five hits and two runs over six innings, walking two and striking out five. It was the fourth consecutive quality start for Price and another encouraging sign that he's over the left elbow strain that forced him to miss the first two months of the season.
