ANAHEIM -- Chris Archer celebrated his 100th Major League start in style, while the Angels had to work without a true starter as the Rays defeated the Angels, 5-2, at Angel Stadium on Friday night.
Archer held the Angels scoreless on five hits while walking two and striking out six in six innings to claim his second win of the season.
On the flip side, the Angels went into the game knowing they were going to have to run through a parade of relievers after getting caught in a starting-pitching lurch. That translated to Cory Rasmus making his first start of the season, which he made knowing he would be limited to 50 pitches or less.
