    The offseason changes James Shields made to his pitching delivery have been a complete success.

    Shields pitched a four-hitter for his second consecutive complete game, Ben Zobrist hit a two-run homer and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 on Sunday.

    "It felt really good," Shields said. "Obviously, being able to throw back-to-back complete games is something special."

    Shields (2-1) threw just 95 pitches, wrapping up his seventh career complete game in a brisk 2 hours, 5 minutes. The right-hander also threw a four-hitter against the Chicago White Sox last Tuesday.
