Shields(1-4) finally notched his first win Monday, beating the Rockies 2-1 with six innings of one-run ball. He gave up nine hits while walking two and striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Shields had been the subject of some tough-luck losses early on, but Matt Kemp's two-run double in the opening frame was all he needed to secure his first victory. The veteran has given up exactly one run in each of his last two outings, and will have the luxury of once again pitching in the pitcher-friendly confines of Petco Park for his next scheduled start Saturday against the Mets.
