CHICAGO -- James Shields had another poor outing for the Chicago White Sox. Their offense didnt fare much better.Shields allowed seven runs in 4 2/3 innings as the White Sox managed just two hits in a 9-0 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. The right-hander has surrendered 27 earned runs in 14 innings over his last four starts for the White Sox, who have dropped 10 of 13.I need to finish strong, no doubt about it, said Shields, who is 3-8 since the White Sox acquired him from San Diego on June 4. Im not helping this team out right now, so I need to do my job and get better and move on.Kendall Graveman faced one batter over the minimum while throwing a two-hitter and Khris Davis hit his 31st home run to hand Shields his 15th loss overall.Graveman (9-8) allowed leadoff singles to Jose Abreu in the third and Adam Eaton in the seventh. Both were immediately doubled off first on line drives. Justin Morneau reached on an error by first baseman Yonder Alonso in the eighth.Graveman struck out five and needed 97 pitches for his second complete game of the season.Boy, I was looking to see what time it was. It felt like it was an hour and 55-minute game, at least on his end, As manager Bob Melvin said. Weve seen him pitch well. Weve seen the sinker, weve seen the cutter. We just havent seen a shutout like this.Stephen Vogt and Yonder Alonso also homered for the As, who snapped a five-game losing streak.Shields (5-15) matched a career-high for losses in a season set with Tampa Bay in 2010. The three homers allowed gave him a major league high-tying 29 and the six earned runs gave him a major league-high 91.Im not getting the job done with runners on base, Shields said. When you give up homers, its fine, as long as no ones on. Thats not what Im doing right now. I need to get better at that.Shields walked three, including .211-hitting Max Muncy in the second to force in a run. Davis hit a solo shot to left in the third and Vogt and Alonso connected with two outs in a four-run fifth.Davis also singled, doubled and scored three runs and Vogt added an RBI double for the As, who had scored three or fewer runs in 12 of their previous 19 games.He had a stretch of three or four outings that he was doing well, White Sox catcher Dioner Navarro said about Shields. He has to keep grinding and find something that clicks. I still believe that hes going to help us out.Graveman came in having allowed five home runs in his last four starts. But the right-hander used strong command while allowing the fewest hits of his season.His ball moves a lot, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. We didnt get anything done. I mean, all the way around it wasnt a good night for us.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: 2B Brett Lawrie, on a rehab assignment for a hamstring injury, experienced quadriceps soreness earlier in the week.
