ST. PETERSBURG -- Chris Archer's funk continued on Thursday afternoon, when the Rays fell to the Indians, 6-0, in the rubber game of their three-game series.
Archer allowed three runs -- two earned -- in 5 1/3 innings, walking three and striking out six en route to his third loss of the season in as many starts.
"I competed," Archer said. "I did not shy away from contact purposefully at any point. I gave up a two-run homer, but outside of that the effort is there."
The right-hander has not won since Aug.
