Rookie catcher Chance Sisco hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning for the Orioles.

Archer struck out six and walked two. He allowed a two-run home run to Chris Johnson in the fourth.

"It was different pitching into the sixth inning because I hadn't done that yet," Archer said. "My body felt good. I was able to repeat my mechanics. … I could have done more, but there was no reason to extend myself."

Designated hitter Colby Rasmus drove in his first three RBIs of the spring for Tampa Bay. He singled in the first and hit a two-run homer in the fifth.

"It feels good to get out there and get some good wood on one," Rasmus said.
Orioles Left-hander Chris Lee made his second Grapefruit League start and was pulled after two innings. He allowed two runs on five hits.
"Overall, I didn't finish enough. It's something you can't dwell on. You have to go out there and work on stuff," Lee said.
