But it was a bad throw and it cost us a run.Boston is tied with Toronto, which beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-2.Chris Archer (7-17) gave up two runs, five hits and threw 109 pitches in five innings for the Rays. The last 20-game loser in the majors was Detroits Mike Maroth (21) in 2003.Archer won his first career start against the Red Sox on Sept. 19, 2012 but has dropped 10 straight decisions to them since.The Rays got an RBI double from Kevin Kiermaier in the fifth.The speedy Kiermaier was thrown out trying for a triple in the eighth by Betts from right field.Accuracy, Ive been pretty good Betts said. But hard (throws) was something I didnt know I could do.
