SEATTLE -- Chris Archer labored through five innings and Seattle starter Marco Gonzales held Tampa Bay in check as the Rays suffered their third straight loss in a 3-1 defeat Saturday.
Archer allowed two runs on seven hits over five innings, his first start of fewer than six innings since April 26. The right-hander lasted at least six innings in all six of his starts in May, but struggled to find his command throughout the night against the Mariners.
Archer couldn't put the Mariners away in the third, allowing three straight hits with two outs as Seattle built a 2-0 lead.
