James Shields held the Tigers to two runs on six hits and one walk in eight innings of Wednesday's 4-2 win. He fanned five. Shields appeared headed for a complete-game loss before Justin Verlander came unraveled in the ninth, allowing the Rays to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 victory. Today was a marked improvement on Shields' Opening Day start against the Yankees, where he allowed six runs on nine hits in just five innings. He's in line to get the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday.
