James Shields surrendered seven earned runs over five innings in Saturday's Game 2 loss to the Rangers.
The five-game ALDS is now tied at a game apiece. Shields struck out six batters and didn't issue a single walk, but the powerful Texas lineup pounced on pitches that he left over the middle. "Big Game James" finished the regular season with a 2.82 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 225/65 K/BB ratio. He's not off to such a great start in the playoffs.
