The Rays took a loss tonight against the Cincinatti Reds and lost the series. Shields wasn't himself, offense was their usual selves at the Trop, and when the smoke all cleared it was a 4-3 win for Volquez and the Reds.
Shields had 10 K but allowed a three run homer in the fourth that was the big blow. The Rays continued their atrocious offense at Tropicana Field, scoring less than five runs once again. They lost two out of three against the Reds and now fall to 45-36 on the season. They host the Cardinals on Friday.
