James Shields finally shows up, gets standing ovation in White Sox victory

James Shields' second pitch Wednesday night resulted in a cringe-worthy, here-we-go-again moment for the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.

Eduardo Nunez hit the 85-mph changeup out to left field for a solo homer, an early Twins lead and a reminder of Shields' first two ugly home starts on the South Side this season.

Then, be it the result of a struggling Twins team or a much-needed personal turnaround, the narrative changed, and the Shields the Sox thought they acquired from the Padres on June 4 finally showed up.
