James Shields allowed three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits over seven innings Sunday in a win over the Red Sox. Shields suffered through one of his worst starts in years last time out against the Twins, surrendering seven runs in six innings on three homers. He kept the ball in the park this time around, a nice sign after he'd yielded six over his last four outings. The right-hander improves to 7-8 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.
