Chris Archer pitched six innings to win his third straight decision, Brad Miller had three hits and three RBIs and the Tampa Bay Rays routed the Toronto Blue Jays again, 12-2 on Tuesday night.

Logan Morrison had two hits and two RBIs for the Rays, who beat Toronto 13-2 on Monday night. Tampa Bay has scored in each of the first three innings in back-to-back games for the first time in team history.

Morrison's RBIs were his first of the season.

Tampa Bay matched Monday's season high of 17 hits and reached double figures in runs in consecutive games for the first time since doing it against the Yankees on April 18 and 19, 2014.

Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman (4-1) allowed a career-worst 13 hits in 5 2/3 innings, and the slumping Blue Jays lost their fourth straight.

Archer (3-4) allowed two runs and four hits. This was his 18th start against Toronto, six more than he's made against any other opponent.

Taylor Motter capped the onslaught with a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the ninth, the first of his career.

Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista was in the lineup after appealing a one-game suspension for his role in a benches-clearing brawl at Texas on Sunday. He hit a two-run home run off Archer in the first, his seventh.

For the second night in a row, the Rays handed a previously unbeaten Blue Jays pitcher his first loss of the season. Left-hander J.A. Happ, who came in 5-0, allowed a season-worst eight runs in two innings on Monday.

Toronto manager John Gibbons began serving his three-game suspension for his role in Sunday's brawl, while first base coach Tim Leiper served his one-game penalty. Bench coach DeMarlo Hale replaced Gibbons and assistant hitting coach Eric Owens filled in for Leiper.

Blue Jays right-hander Jesse Chavez was available after appealing his three-game suspension for hitting Texas slugger Prince Fielder with a pitch.

TRAINER'S ROOM:

Rays: RHP Ryan Webb stayed in the game after being hit in the jaw by Jimmy Paredes' liner in the eighth. The hard shot appeared to hit Webb on his glove hand before striking his face. Webb got the next batter, Edwin Encarnacion, to ground into an inning-ending double play.

UP NEXT

Rays: RHP Jake Odorizzi (0-2, 3.83) is winless in eight starts, matching the second-longest winless start to a season in Rays history. RHP Tanyon Sturtze was winless in 15 straight starts to begin the 2002 season.

Blue Jays: RHP R.A. Dickey (2-4, 4.31) will pitch Wednesday's series finale for Toronto. He's 8-8 with a 4.25 ERA in 23 career games against the Rays.
