Shields is the first Padres starter to begin a season with a 7-0 mark since Andy Hawkins did so in 1985 on his way to an 11-0 start. Ten of his 12 starts have been quality starts and the team is averaging 7.17 runs per game while he's pitching.
Foltynewicz's last start against the Diamondbacks was the first time since his season debut (May 1) that he was unable to record at least seven strikeouts. He fanned five and allowed four earned runs to bring his ERA to 4.
