The 395th start of Shields’ career Friday in Seattle brought his 134th loss, though he pitched well enough to win. Shields went at least six innings for the 15th time in his last 17 starts, yielding one earned run in seven innings and fanning five.
Skaggs was charged with the loss after yielding three runs over six innings against the Astros on Friday. He will make his first start against the White Sox since July 2, 2014, when he gave up two runs over 7 2/3 innings in Chicago.
