Tampa Bay Rays Game 34: Archer Rebounds To Spark Comeback

Chris Archer was coming off of two disastrous starts against the Baltimore Orioles and the Texas Rangers respectively. In the latter, he threw 92 pitches yet failed to escape the fourth inning. Then, to begin this game, he looked just as bad. The New York Yankees started the contest with singles from Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner, a walk to Alex Rodriguez, and RBI singles from Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran, giving them a 2-0 lead with the bases loaded and nobody out in the first inning.
