Shields frustrated after surrendering 3 homers

SAN DIEGO -- Starting pitcher James Shields' frustration was evident after the Padres' 4-3 loss to the Phillies in 12 innings Friday night at Petco Park, their fourth straight defeat.

Shields, who is often mentioned as a leader on the club, took a no-decision, pitching 6 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and three runs, while walking one and striking out eight. All three runs Shields allowed came on solo home runs.

"I made three mistakes today; they took advantage of it," Shields said. "Sometimes that's going to happen. Overall, I felt like I pitched pretty well.
