James Shields yielded two runs in seven innings Friday in a no-decision against the Astros. Shields allowed nine hits and three walks while fanning six. He has gone at least seven innings while allowing two runs or fewer in six out of his last seven starts, but he doesn't have any wins to show for it. That's right. Zero. He has a tough matchup against the Tigers next week, so hopefully there's finally some run support in his future.
