Rays' Archer cites forearm tightness upon leaving game vs. White Sox

CHICAGO -- Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Chris Archer left due to right lateral forearm tightness after giving up back-to-back home runs without recording an out in the first inning of his start against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night.

Alen Hanson hit his fourth home run on Archer's second pitch of the game, and Yolmer Sanchez followed with his ninth homer. Archer threw just eight pitches, three for strikes, before the Rays' coaching staff and trainer checked on him and he left the game as a precaution.
