CLEVELAND -- The strike zone proved to be an elusive target for Chris Archer on Monday night.
In the five innings Archer worked against the Indians, just 57 of the 101 pitches he threw went for strikes. That translated to an uncharacteristic six walks, a five-run first, and the second loss of the season for the talented right-hander.
The five-run first equaled the most runs Archer has allowed in a single inning. The most recent of those five-run innings came in Toronto against the Blue Jays on Sept. 26, 2015.
Lonnie Chisenhall came through with the big blow against Archer in the first on Monday night.
