Archer came through with a quality start, but all he had to show for his effort as a no-decision -- rather than his ninth win of the season.
"I felt good," Archer said. "Just unfortunate that we couldn't do enough to win today. ... I think most importantly, we made some great defensive plays and Bobby Wilson did a great job behind the plate, presenting the ball well to the umpire and getting into some good counts. Calling some good pitches to get those guys out."
Archer allowed two runs on five hits while walking one and striking out nine in 6 1/3 innings.
