AP: Shields pitches 1-hitter, Longoria homers in ninth for Rays

James Shields pitched a 1-hitter and Evan Longoria’s two-run, ninth-inning homer snapped a scoreless tie and gave the Tampa Bay Rays a 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.

Shields (4-2) rebounded from the second-shortest outing of his career to post his second shutout in his past three starts. The 26-year-old right-hander limited the Angels to Brandon Wood’s one-out single in the third and retired the last 17 batters he faced after hitting Erick Aybar with a pitch in the fourth.

Angels starter Jon Garland allowed no runs and four hits in eight innings.

can you really sheath a shield? and if so, wouldn't it get in the way of walking if it's on your hip?

You'd need a sheath shield, obviously.

Lest we forget Mr. Garland was pretty good himself.
