Shields allowed two runs over six innings of work in a no-decision Monday against the Dodgers. Shields was in line for the win after leaving with a 3-2 lead, but a bullpen implosion allowed the Dodgers to notch a 6-3 victory. He struck out eight batters, several of which came excellent changeups, and allowed two walks. Shields' major mistakes came in the fourth when he left a pitch over the plate to Adrian Gonzalez, who deposited it in the right field stands for a home run. He allowed a triple to the next batter he faced, but calmed down to finish six innings. Shields will return to the mound Saturday against the Giants.
