Shields didn't factor into the decision against Arizona on Friday, as he allowed two runs on six hits while striking out six and walking four over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has fallen victim to the long ball and walks early this season, and it nearly cost him again Friday. Shields allowed a solo home run in the second inning, the fourth bomb he's tossed up in the last two starts, and three walks in his final four frames. He has just a 2.0 BB/K ratio through three starts.
