ST. Al Horford Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Chris Archer stayed at the top of his game long enough for the Tampa Bay Rays to bounce back from one of their worst losses of the season. Archer pitched seven strong innings, David DeJesus scored twice and the Rays beat the Angels 4-1 Wednesday night, ending Los Angeles four-game winning streak. The rookie right-hander was given the assignment of breaking the Rays three-game losing skid one night after they had squandered a four-run lead and fell 6-5, dropping 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox in the AL East. "Honestly, the pressures always the same whether weve won three in a row or lost three in a row," Archer said. "Im still trying to go out there and execute pitches regardless of previous games." Archer (8-5) allowed one run and five hits while striking out five. For the fifth time in his last 10 starts, he did not walk a batter. "Hes got such a strong mental game," Rays manager Joe Maddon noted. "This guy really understands routine and process. I saw a close-up on TV where he was almost talking himself, and I know he was telling himself the right things regarding how to slow down and how to focus ... Thats been the impressive part. I mean zero walks -- come on!" In his five starts without a walk, Archer is 4-0 with an 0.47 earned run average. He has emerged in the late summer as the Rays steadiest starter. "I think Im feeling the same thing everybody feels at this time of the season," he said. "Im in good shape, my stuffs still crisp, my velocity is still there, Im executing pitches. I think its a mental hurdle rather than physical now for everybody," he said. Archer breezed through the first six innings, scattering three singles and facing 20 batters, only two over the minimum. "Hes got good stuff. Hes got a nice, easy delivery," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "His fastball is really live, and a terrific slider. He pitched a strong game for those guys." Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth, striking out two for his 31st save. Garrett Richards (4-6) gave up four runs on seven hits and three walks in 3 1-3 innings, the second-shortest of his career. "I just didnt have it from the beginning," Richards said. "Arm felt good. Body felt good. I just wasnt there tonight." DeJesus, playing his fifth game since the Rays got him in a trade with Washington, had two of the Rays eight hits and drove in his first run. Ben Zobrist also had two hits and an RBI. DeJesus led off the Tampa Bay first with a double and scored on Matt Joyces sacrifice fly. In the fourth, DeJesus hit an RBI single off Richards leg. The Rays scored three times in the decisive inning, and an error on shortstop Erick Aybar put the Rays up 4-0. "We got one of those snowball innings that we need to have more of," said DeJesus, who is 6 for 11 in three games as a leadoff hitter with Tampa Bay. "We gave away that game yesterday. Its great to bounce back and get Rodney back in there, get him a nice save and have a clean game." Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton opened the Angels seventh with singles. Kole Calhoun hit a sacrifice fly. Trout had his 51st multihit game of the season and raised his batting average against right-handed pitchers to .332. He is hitting .333 against lefties. Hamiltons single in the seventh extended his road hitting streak to a career-high 15 games. NOTES: Angels 3B Chris Nelson left the game in the seventh inning with a strained right hamstring.

Manager Bob Melvin made the announcement Tuesday, saying McCarthy was an easy choice based on last years results and trades that left the team without All-Stars Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill. The As open their season in Japan on March 28. Bartolo Colon gets the call to start the second game the following day. "He was a natural pick after last year and with the pitchers we ended up trading away," Melvin said of McCarthy. "Hes been focused this spring knowing he has to get ready a little earlier. He looks like hes in midseason form." McCarthy had a career high in wins, starts, complete games, innings pitched and strikeouts last season. He was 9-9 with five complete games in 25 starts, and had 123 strikeouts in 170 2-3 innings. McCarthy also recorded a 4.92 to 1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, the highest by an As pitcher since 1901. He walked 25 batters. "Hes so precise, so focused, that sometimes he doesnt think about throwing a ball for effect," Melvin said. "He doesnt change the eye level. The fewer guys you put on base, the fewer opportunities they have to score." McCarthy, who signed with the As as a free agent after spending 2010 in the minors, did not hit a batter laast season.

I feel comfortable and am what where I want to be." McCarthys wife, Amanada, also expressed her feelings in a tweet: "Last year fighting for a spot this year opening day guy. So unbelievably proud of my husband! Ready to get my cheerleader on!" Colon, signed as a free agent in January, is a 14-year veteran with 161 career wins. "Hes a calm guy, a calm thinker and just goes about his business," Melvin said. "His mechanics, to me, really stand out. He may not be one of the most talkative guys but when he gets on the mound he knows what works for him. He can read hitters well." Notes: As catcher Kurt Suzuki on losing third baseman Scott Sizemore (torn ACL in left knee) for the season: "Theres nothing you can say to make him feel better. You just try to be a good friend and a good teammate. He was so dedicated and so excited for the season, and such a freak accident, it sucks." ... RHP Brad Peacock felt some back stiffness Monday and was given a day off. Hell throw to hitters one more time before being used in a game. ...
