No pitcher has had a worse month than James Shields. On May 31, he allowed 10 runs in 2 2/3 innings in a start against the Mariners. That prompted Padres executive Ron Fowler to call the outing an "embarrassment to the team, an embarrassment to him."

San Diego traded Shields to the White Sox a few days later, and in his first three starts which Chicago, the veteran right-hander allowed 22 runs in 8 2/3 innings.
