ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays scored a franchise-record 35 runs in their past three games, but as they seek to close out a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, the question is whether the run support will spill over to Chris Archer.Tuesdays beneficiary, Blake Snell, was receiving a staff-low average of 2.55 runs in his starts before the Rays unloaded for a 13-1 win. Close behind is Archer, who has the next-lowest run support on the staff at 2.72 runs per start.What an offensive show we put on tonight, Rays manager Kevin Cash said after Tuesdays win. That was fun to sit there and be a part of. Everybody, again, played a part. A lot of home runs and a lot of good at-bats. Weve just got guys that are seeing the ball really well right now.Archer (6-16, 4.39 ERA) leads the majors in losses -- former teammate James Shields of the Chicago White Sox is next closest with 14 -- and is in danger of becoming baseballs first 20-game loser since Detroits Mike Maroth in 2003. He lost three of his last four outings despite making three quality starts in that stretch.His mound opponent in the series finale, Padres left-hander Christian Friedrich (4-8, 4.84 ERA), is enduring a similar lack of support. San Diego was shut out in his last start, and the team produced six runs total in his past three outings.Over his past 10 starts, Friedrich has allowed fewer than three runs just once, and he has allowed four-plus runs eight times. He is 1-7 with a 6.58 ERA in that span.Friedrich, like Archer, has never previously faced his Wednesday opponent.Padres manager Andy Green is more concerned about his teams offensive woes -- six total runs during a four-game losing streak -- than about Friedrichs work.Weve had a complete roster overhaul -- we were built in the first half with Matt Kemp and Melvin Upton, guys that handle left-handed pitching very well, Green said. Where we are right now, with the bulk of our power, youve got (Alex) Dickerson, (Ryan) Schimpf, (Travis) Jankowski, theyre not nearly as ideal matchups as those types of guys. Thats not an excuse, its a reason.The 35 runs by the Rays in three games trumped the 31 runs they scored in May in a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. Tampa Bay has just one series sweep since -- taking three at home against the New York Yankees from July 29-31 -- but it has a chance for another against the Padres.We hit a ton of balls hard, said Rays infielder Brad Miller, who hit two home runs Tuesday and now has 18 since June 17, the second most in the majors during that span. Even a lot of outs, they made some good plays on some balls.A lot of fun. I like how we kept it going. Nobody gave away at-bats. ... Im just trying to have good at-bats.San Diego has dropped seven of its past nine but hasnt been swept in a series since immediately after the All-Star break.Yeezy Boost 350 v2 True Form Pas Cher . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.

Green, but instead used the question to launch into a tirade against Freeman.Who is official 88? He sucked, Norman said, referring to Freemans number because he did not know his name. Im just gonna be honest with you. Im gonna be straightforward. He was terrible. I feel like he should be reprimanded. I feel like some of the plays that was going on out there , it was just -- I mean, it was terrible.Norman was called for five penalties -- two of which were declined -- and was flagged four times for illegal use of hands. Each of those violations occurred when the cornerback was matched up with Green.He also found it inexcusable that the officiating crew did not assess a facemask penalty on Bengals strong safety Shawn Williams for grabbing wide receiver Jamison Crowder at the goal line on a 33-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.We get a touchdown, no call, Norman said. Now, defense? We go out there, and on the same sideline, we stop them for a run. We get in there and he said he called a facemask, but there was no evidence of that. It was a scrum. How did you see the scrum facemask, but you did not see the blatant one when it was just him?Freeman was unavailable to respond to Normans comments after the game. When approached, a Redskins spokesman said he had already seen the bus carrying the officials leave the stadium.Green finished with nine catches for 121 yards, including a 40-yard grab over Norman with 8:04 remaining in which the 2015 All-Pro cornerback was also called for pass interference.There were two occasions when Norman could have intercepted Andy Dalton, but the ball bounced off his hands -- once on the Bengals the final drive before halftime, once on their first drive of the third quarter.Norman also broke up a pass down the left sideline by pushing Green out of bounds, aand he recovered a fumble by Giovani Bernard in the second quarter that was negated by defensive holding on cornerback Bashaud Breeland.ddddddddddddWhile Green refused to speak about Norman in the days leading up to the game, Norman, who sustained a concussion a week ago, called Green a top-three wide receiver on Friday and said he was looking forward to the challenge.I think if you want to be one of the best in this league, you have to go against the best competition, and thats Josh, Green said after the game. Josh is one of the best corners in this league and I consider myself one of the best receivers in this league, so I go out there and take that as a challenge.Norman, who has been fined multiple times this season for unsportsmanlike conduct and illegal hits, began his five-minute press conference by introducing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba. It ended when a Redskins spokesman, concerned about opportunities for other players to speak, returned to the auditorium and cut him off.Norman also objected to the penalty assessed to wide receiver Pierre Garcon for pass interference at the start of the Redskins final drive of overtime. That negated Garcons 5-yard gain.So Norman took it upon himself to address a discussion that had been taking place in the Redskins locker room.We come over here in an international game and it seems like we threw everything out the window on what we do, Norman said. Get the guy on the line: 5-yard penalty. Hands to the face. Hands to the face. Hands to the face. But yet, every time I touched (Green), he knocked the hands up into him. I tell him that, but he still called it. How do you play like that?When pressed to address other penalties he objected to, Norman demurred.Whatever they say about it, I just dont care, he said. This is how I feel and how the team feels right now. Im speaking on their behalf. Here and now, this is just how I feel about it. They reprimand us? Whats the reprimand for them?--- ' ' '
