James Shields pitched a three-hit shutout, striking out 11, against the A's on Tuesday. Shields, who had 11 complete games and four shutout in 2011, got his first of each in 2012 tonight. It was also his first win in six starts and just his second in 10 starts, as he moved to 9-7 with a 4.24 ERA. That he's fanned 10 batters in three straight outings seems like a good sign going forward.
