James Shields Coughs Up Eight Earned Runs Saturday
6 years agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher James Shields labored through 5 2/3 innings while giving up eight earned runs in a 12-6 loss to the Houston Astros. The lone positive for Shields was that he recorded a season-high nine strikeouts. With the loss, Shields' record drops to 3-10 on the season to go along with a 4.53 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP in 119 1/3 innings. At this point of his career, he is mainly just an innings eater for a rebuilding team. However, Shields will be a viable streaming option against the Kansas City Royals next Saturday.
