Shields pitched well, allowing three runs on five hits over six innings, but it wasn't enough as the Padres fell 11-1 against the Pirates on Thursday. He also had five strikeouts and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

After six complete innings, Shields left with just a 3-0 deficit, but the Pirates tagged the Padres bullpen for eight runs in the seventh. San Diego has done a better job of scoring lately, but with the Padres' offense and bullpen, wins could be hard to come by this summer for Shields. His next start is scheduled to be Tuesday versus the Giants.
