ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The final month Tampa Bay pitcher Chris Archers season is an ongoing effort to avoid too many dubious records as the Rays host his personal nemesis, the white-hot Boston Red Sox, to open a three-game series Friday.Boston won its eighth in a row, completing a four-game sweep in Baltimore on Thursday, and leads Toronto by 5 1/2 games in the American League East.Archer (8-18, 4.05 ERA) already has a share of the Rays record for losses in a season -- Tanyon Sturtze also had 18 in 2002 -- and is tied for the major league lead with former teammate James Shields. He has two starts remaining, so hes in jeopardy of becoming baseballs first 20-game loser since Detroits Mike Maroth in 2003.Hell try to avoid all this while facing a team in which hes lost 10 straight decisions, leaving him 1-10 with a 5.56 ERA in 15 career starts against the Red Sox. Seven losses came at Tropicana Field, and this season, hes 0-4, 6.65 in four starts versus Boston.An odder distinction could come if hes able to lead the American League in losses and strikeouts, something that hasnt happened since Nolan Ryan did so in 1976.The Rays have been solid in finishing series -- 4-1 in the final game of their last five -- but are 3-9 in the rest of the games.Weve got them figured out on getaway days, manager Kevin Cash said after Thursdays 2-0 victory against the Yankees. We cant quite figure it out before that, but well take this one for sure.On Friday, the Red Sox turn to left-hander Drew Pomeranz, who is 2-5 with a 4.91 ERA in 12 starts since joining the Red Sox before the trade deadline from San Diego.Pomeranz has been sharper against the Rays -- hes 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in four games (three starts), including a hard-luck 2-1 loss Aug. 25 in which he struck out a season-high 11 batters while holding the Rays to two runs on seven hits.Boston has significant momentum going into the final week and a half of the season, and the Rays can do little to spoil the position the Red Sox have put themselves in with their latest surge.I just think we put ourselves in a better position, center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. told the Boston Herald before Thursdays 5-3 victory over Baltimore. I feel like everybodys playing relaxed. Everybodys mentally and emotionally invested. Everything just seems to be clicking right now.
