Shields now 5-1 in last six: Rays SP James Shields (9-6) gave up three runs on six hits and struck out seven in improving to 5-1 in his past six starts as Tampa Bay held off the A's 4-3 on Wednesday. Shields' bid for his fourth complete game of the season ended when Jack Cust doubled with one out in the ninth. (Updated 07/23/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Shields has only allowed more than three runs once in his last seven outings, and appears to have recovered nicely from his poor June, during which he had a 5.02 ERA. Shields will get two starts in Fantasy Week 18 (July 28-Aug. 3), at Toronto and vs. Detroit, and remains a must-start in all formats for that period. (Updated 07/23/2008).
