    Having finally solved the road with two victories in two starts away from Tropicana Field this month, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher James Shields returns to the friendly confines of the catwalks tonight when he faces the Oakland Athletics in the finale of this two-game series.

    "It's definitely nice to pitch in 72 degrees instead of 39 and raining. It's nice to be back home," said Shields (2-0, 3.96), who won at Boston and Chicago for the first times in his career during the recent road trip.

    And behind the plate tonight will be rookie catcher John Jaso, who caught those two wins for Shields.
