Rays Notes: Archer in rare company after his one-hit shutout

OAKLAND, Calif. — Former Rays LHP David Price would tell his teammates, “See you in nine,” when he left the clubhouse before each start. Price never hid the fact his goal each outing was to throw a complete game.

Chris Archer has yet to incorporate that into his pregame ritual.

“I’m not to that point. I’m not that confident about it,” Archer said. “There’s some goals you just keep to yourself.”

The one-hit, complete-game shutout tossed Thursday night in Houston was still a topic of conversation Friday before the Rays began a three-game series with the A’s at O.
