James Shields, Tampa Bay Rays (5-0, 3.05 ERA)
Shields became the AL’s first five-game winner by throwing six solid innings in a 5-4 win over the Mariners in his last start. He struck out a season-high 11 batters in that outing. However, he also yielded a pair of homers for the second straight start and also walked four batters. Shields has thrown at least 112 pitches in each of his last four trips to the hill.
Ricky Romero, Toronto Blue Jays (4-0, 3.64 ERA)
Romero didn’t have his best stuff in his last outing, allowing five runs over eight innings, but it was enough to help the Jays to an 11-5 win over Texas. Romero walked three straight batters in the fifth before allowing a two-run double. He has chucked at least eight innings three times already this season.

John Danks, Chicago White Sox (2-4, 6.51 ERA)
Danks was drilled for seven runs (six earned) and a pair of home runs in a loss to the Indians last week. It was the second straight start in which he allowed seven runs and he also committed two errors. "I know I will get this ship righted," he told reporters, "but it sure as hell would be nice if we got it righted pretty soon, 'cause it's getting pretty damn frustrating."
Kevin Millwood, Seattle Mariners (0-3, 5.34 ERA)
Millwood dropped his third straight start last week, dropping a 4-3 decision to the Texas Rangers. The veteran is still looking for his first win with the Mariners, but has worked into the seventh inning in his last two trips to the hill. The M’s are averaging only 2.3 runs over his last three starts.
