Orbit tries to sabotage Chris Archer's start

Houston Astros mascot Orbit further escalated his prank war with Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer on Tuesday night.

One day after Archer presented Orbit with a "declaration of unfriendliness," the mascot decided to gift Archer with a "peace offering" of a chocolate bar and "electrolyte formula" prior to the right-hander's start against the Astros.

Orbit wasn't too concerned, as he and Archer have a history of tomfoolery.

Rays nutritionist Ryan Harmon confiscated the items.

Archer didn't appeared fazed by Orbit's high jinks, earning the win in Tampa Bay's 6-4 victory over Houston.
