Shields goes for fourth win when Devil Rays visit White Sox

May 25, 2007 - 3:09 PM Tampa Bay (19-27) at Chi White Sox (23-20) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays think they have found a second reliable arm to go along with Scott Kazmir. The Chicago White Sox will try to prove them wrong.

James Shields takes the mound Friday when the Devil Rays open up a three-game series against the White Sox at US Cellular Field.

Tampa Bay's 25-year-old righthander has yet to lose this season but is also aching for a win after watching poor run support and a leaky bullpen waste his last three outings.

Shields (3-0, 2.94 ERA) has yielded just four combined earned runs in his last three outings, while getting just an average of two runs of support.

The second-year player has been the lone bright spot this season on a staff that ranks last in the majors with a 5.32 ERA. On Thursday, the Devil Rays snapped a five-game losing streak with a 13-12 victory over Seattle.

Chicago counters with Mark Buehrle (2-1, 3.67). The veteran lefthander hasn't been very sharp since hurling a no-hitter on April 18. He has made it through the seventh inning just once since and has yielded at least three earned runs each time out.
