The San Diego Padres had a good chance to grab the season’s first series win against the Los Angeles Dodgers with James Shields on the mound.
Shields was a warrior on the rubber and at the plate Sunday afternoon, quickly recovering from his mistakes to keep the Dodgers off the scoreboard.
Shields got some help from his defense in the third inning. After a double by Alberto Callaspo, Joc Pederson came to the plate and smacked a line drive to right field.
