Severino is coming off his shortest big league outing, having been thumped by the Blue Jays for six runs -- including two homers -- in just 2 1/3 innings on Friday. The rookie will be facing the Rays for the second time in his career.
Despite striking out seven consecutive batters at one point, Archer got a no-decision Friday vs. the Sox when he allowed three runs on five hits. He lost his last start to the Yankees when he allowed four earned runs in 6 1/3 frames on Sept.
