James Shields fired seven scoreless innings in Friday's victory over the White Sox, allowing seven hits and two walks while striking out two. While his 5-7 record may not indicate it, Shields has been every bit the ace of the rotation that he was acquired to be this season. Through 148 2/3 innings, he owns a 3.09 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 124/42 K/BB ratio. He'll look to carry over the momentum from this start when he faces the Twins in Minnesota on Thursday.
