Tampa Bay RHP Chris Archer leaves with 2 outs in second inning against Arizona

PHOENIX – Tampa Bay Rays rookie Chris Archer has left his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks after throwing a pitch in the second inning.

The right-hander allowed a run in the first on Wednesday night and got two outs in the second before leaving with a 2-1 count against Didi Gregorius.

Tampa Bay's trainer and manager Joe Maddon came out to the mound, and Archer had a disgusted look on his face as they talked to him. Maddon called Alex Torres out of the bullpen and Archer was consoled by teammates before walking off the field.

Archer was the AL pitcher of the month in July after going 4-0 with a 0.73 ERA in five starts.
