The Rays began their inexorable march to October 2016 by winning today in Coors Field against the Rockies, taking a road series for the first time since FDR was in office. Chris Archer did a fairly good job of limiting damage the entire game, a feat Jorge de la Rosa was unfortunately unable to replicate. With this win, the Rays have won the first two games of their inevitable 26 game winning streak which will propel them into second place in the AL Wild Card.
An Early Hole
Archer has had a lot of trouble both limiting runs in the first inning, as well as maintaining a lead after the offense hands him one.
