But, unlike his last start, the White Sox bullpen was unable to maintain the lead. By the time the game was over, the Sox lost to the Reds by a score of 3-5.
The only good thing for Shields was that he was not credited with the loss. That went to Chris Volstad who gave up four runs in the eighth inning.
Second outstanding Shields start
Shields looks to be showcasing his skills for potential trades. After pitching his second shut-out game in a Sox uniform, Shields only gave up one run to the Red in 6.
