James Shields put forth another stellar effort Thursday, limiting the Yankees to one run on six hits and three walks over 7 2/3 innings in the 2-1 win. He struck out six. Shields was chased in the eighth inning after Robinson Cano drove home Derek Jeter with an RBI double, but Brandon Gomes came in and got Nick Swisher to fly out on the first pitch before Kyle Farnsworth shut the door. Though he is just 9-8, Shields has undoubtedly been one of the best pitchers in the game this season, sporting a 2.53 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 151/40 K/BB ratio over 156 1/3 frames. He'll get the A's next week in what possibly could be his last start as a Ray if he ends up being dealt.
