James Shields had a tough night on the hill, giving up seven runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 innings in Friday's loss to the Tigers. Shields walked one and struck out three on the night. After striking for a pair of runs in the second inning, the Tigers broke things open with a three-run uprising in the fourth inning, highlighted by a two-run homer off the bat of Alex Avila. Shields will carry a 3.11 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 44/10 K/BB ratio into Wednesday's start against the Padres in San Diego.
