On a bittersweet Saturday, the Rays shutout the Yankees 4-0 to get back to .500. But the game featured another bite from the injury bug, this time taking Chris Archer, who was pulled midway through the third with forearm tightness.
Human garbage Domingo Germán took the hill for New York. The lineup backing Arch looked like this:
In the early going, Archer’s heater was only reaching the low 90s and his slider was inconsistent. Still, he managed to strike out the side in the first, surrendering just a single to Hicks.
In the bottom of the first, Meadows doinked a 2-1 change up off the right field foul pole.
