James Shields admitted that it felt a little weird when he stepped on the mound for Kansas City on Tuesday night, peered into the batter's box and saw a former Rays teammate standing at the plate. "That's a team over that knows me real well," Shields said. Turns out Shields knows them even better. After allowing a two-run homer to Matt Joyce in the first, Shields only allowed three more hits over the next six innings. That kept the Royals in the game long enough for Mike Moustakas to hit a go-ahead two-run homer and spur Kansas City to an 8-2 victory over Tampa Bay in the series opener.
