James Shields was knocked around by the Tigers on Thursday, as he allowed four runs on 14 hits over 7 2/3 innings. He did manage to punch out six while walking just one in the game. This marked the second consecutive game in which Shields has allowed four earned runs or more, and it's the sixth time in his last nine outings. He'll take a 7-5 record and uncharacteristic 4.04 ERA with him when he takes on the Yankees at home on Tuesday.
