James Shields continued to look like his old self, earning his 4th win of the season. He tossed 7 innings, allowing 2 ER on 7 hits and 1 BB, while striking out 7. Justin Masterson finally looked like his old self, allowing 5 ER on 8 hits and 4 BB in 5.2 innings of work, although he did have 6 Ks. The Rays jumped out to a 5-0 lead and never looked back, with everyone in the lineup except Kelly Shoppach having a hit.
