Shields went all eight innings, giving up two runs and six hits in Kansas City's 2-1 loss at Oakland on Saturday.

Shields' tough luck continues despite his second complete game of the season. He's received two runs of support or fewer in four of his last six starts, a big reason for his record of 2-4 despite a 2.45 ERA.

Shields is dealing with tough luck. Shields wound up going eight innings for the third time in his last four outings, and each of those times he's failed to pick up the win. He dropped to 7-15 in his career against New York. Fantasy owners need to stay the course and hope to reap some rewards eventually.

Shields struck out a season-high nine over eight shutout innings in Monday's 2-1, 11-inning loss to the Chicago White Sox.
