Shields almost unhittable in St. Petersburg

by Bob Timmermann

James Shields of the Tampa Bay Rays threw just the second complete game one-hitter in franchise history Friday night, as the Rays beat the Angels 2-0 on a home run by Evan Longoria in the ninth inning.

The only hit by Los Angeles was a third inning single by Brandon Wood. Shields struck out eight and walked none. Shields did hit Erick Aybar with a pitch, forcing him out of the game.

The only other one-hitter in Tampa Bay history was tossed by Joe Kennedy at Detroit on May 2, 2003.

James Shields is on my fantasy team. He pitched tonight.

Jason Isringhausen is also on my team. He pitched tonight, too.

They sort of canceled each other out.

Now if you could only convince Jon to upgrade James in the rankings.

1 You had Isringhausen, I had Lowe. The only consolation is that most of my leagues also have the CG and SHO categories, so Derek helping to raise the ERA isn't as bad as it might otherwise be.
