ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Rays' staff ace went 9-19 last season and the Blue Jays' No. 5 starter went 15-2. Uneven scheduling in the first week of the season will have Tampa Bay's Chris Archer and Toronto's Aaron Sanchez squaring off Saturday at Tropicana Field.
Both have been exceptional against the team they'll face on Saturday.
Archer (1-0) gets his second start of the season with the confidence of knowing that he has given up two earned runs or fewer in five straight starts against Toronto and in 10 of his last 11 starts against the Jays.
