James Shields tossed seven scoreless innings on Friday, earning the Royals a sweep of their doubleheader against the Tigers. Shields allowed just three hits and four walks in the game, and recorded just one punch out. Despite his 8-8 record on the season, Shields has compiled a 3.19 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 137/56 K/BB ratio. He's now won four of his last five starts, and has been a big part of the reason the Royals are contending for a Wild Card spot currently. He'll look to keep on rolling when he squares off against the White Sox at home on Thursday.
