James Shields received his first standing ovation of the season at U.S. Cellular Field as he headed to the dugout on Wednesday night.
The White Sox starter settled in after another shaky start and his offense kicked it into high gear in an 9-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins in front of 18,571. Shields limited the Twins to a leadoff solo homer in the first inning and pitched into the seventh to earn his first win for the White Sox. Brett Lawrie, Tyler Saladino and Todd Frazier all homered for the White Sox, who have won six of their last nine and are 39-39.
