James Shields surrendered four runs in 7 1/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Yankees. While he hasn't exactly gotten lit up, "Big Game James" has suddenly lost two in a row when the Rays needed him most. He took a 2-1 lead into the eighth today, only to give up an Eduardo Nunez homer to start the frame. After a groundout, he surrendered a single and a walk and was pulled in favor of J.P. Howell, who immediately gave up a two-run double. The loss leaves Shields 15-12 for the season.
