Top 5: Shields struck out swinging against Wandy Rodriguez
Top 7: Shields struck out swinging against Fernando Rodriguez
Top 9: Shields called out on strikes against Aneury Rodriguez
Final Line: 0-for-4, 4 K
Notes: Shields’ sombrero was the second by a pitcher this season, and both were due to the face they fired a complete game. For Shields it was his third-consecutive CG, as he allowed one run on three hits, walked one and struck out nine on Friday against Houston.
Total 2011 Sombreros: 49
You wear it well, James!
To quote MTD: “A pitcher sombrero is special.”
