Chris Archer turned in a solid performance his last time out, but nonetheless ended up with his franchise record tying 18th loss of the season, putting him in the record books as the worst pitcher in Rays history...because that's what a poor win-loss record will do to you. Archer allowed three runs on four hits, two home runs, while he walked one and struck out six over seven innings pitched against the Yankees on the 10th in New York.
Ubaldo Jimenez Scouting Report:
Just over 10 days ago, Jimenez allowed just two hits to the Rays and tossed a complete game allowing just three runs, all of which came on a home run in the first inning. It was his best start of the year for Baltimore. Since his return to the starting rotation, Jimenez has been solid for Orioles over four starts, sporting a 2.83 ERA over that time. His last start came on the 10th against the Tigers where he allowed two runs on four hits, while he walked three and struck out four over seven innings pitched.
