James Shields has dealt with some tough luc

On a soggy Friday night Alex Bregman Jersey , the pitcher nicknamed “Big Game James” turned in a solid start for the White Sox and was rewarded with some run support.Shields picked up his first road victory since opening day in Chicago’s 8-6 win over the Baltimore Orioles.“This year’s been kind of a struggle getting the (wins),” said Shields, who has gone at least six innings in 22 of his last 27 starts. “I’ve thrown a lot of quality starts this year and unfortunately it just hasn’t gone my way. The guys are grinding for me. There’s no doubt about that. I know that every guy in this clubhouse wants to score a bunch of runs for me.”Ryan Cordell earned his first career hit over 15 at-bats with an eighth-inning homer that provided an insurance run. Omar Narvaez and Avisail Garcia also homered for the White Sox, who won for the second time in nine games.“I was probably pressing to get that first one,” Cordell said. “It took quite a few ABs.”Shields (7-16), who leads the majors in losses, allowed two runs on four hits with five strikeouts and one walk over six innings. Shields had gone winless in his 12 previous road appearances.Left-hander Aaron Bummer relieved Shields in the seventh and loaded the bases. Ian Hamilton entered with one out and allowed a two-run single to pinch-hitter Corban Joseph that pulled Baltimore within 7-4. A fielding error by second baseman Yoan Moncada allowed another run to score before Adam Jones hit a sacrifice fly.Jace Fry contained the Orioles with a scoreless eighth, setting up Nate Jones to pick up his fifth save.Luis Ortiz (0-1) http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , obtained in the trade that sent Jonathan Schoop to Milwaukee on July 31, made his first major league start and threw 1 2/3 innings before leaving with a hamstring injury. He allowed three runs, one earned, and four hits with a walk.“I wish he could have stayed out there and continued to pitch,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “He’s got late life and a good, sharp slider. He’s got a chance to be pretty good.”Trey Mancini hit a pair of homers and has 23 on the season for the majors-worst Orioles, who lost their 105th game.“We all want to go out every day and do well for the team first, and then on a personal level you want to go out and get results that you worked hard for Brian McCann Jersey ,” Mancini said. “We got 15 games left, and hopefully we can keep putting good at-bats together.”Chicago got on the board in the first on a two-out RBI single by Daniel Palka.A triple by Nicky Delmonico and an infield single by Moncada increased the lead to 3-0, and Ortiz left a batter later. Moncada finished with three hits.Mancini hit a solo shot in the second off Shields, who has allowed 31 homers on the season, second in the majors behind the Orioles’ Dylan Bundy.Narvaez answered in third with a two-run shot off Jimmy Yacabonis. Mancini hit another solo homer in the fourth that pulled Baltimore within 5-2.Yacabonis allowed a two-run shot to Garcia in the fifth and exited two batters later.ENDING FRUSTRATION?The White Sox can take a season series against the Orioles for the first time since 2008 with a victory Saturday.ROSTER MOVESThe Orioles recalled LHP Donnie Hart and RHP Evan Phillips from Triple-A Norfolk.TRAINER’S ROOMWhite Sox: INF Matt Davidson (sore legs) was available after missing the last three games. “If you look at the construction of my lineup, it’s kind of hard for me to use him right now, but he’s doing good,” manager Rick Renteria said.Orioles: INF Steve Wilkerson has been dealing with a hamstring issue but could return to the lineup Tuesday or Wednesday. He was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 5.UP NEXTWhite Sox: Reynaldo Lopez (5-9 http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , 4.22 ERA) has allowed just four earned runs with 29 strikeouts over his last four starts.Orioles: Rookie Yefry Ramirez (1-5, 5.94) is making his first major league start since Aug. 19, when he allowed seven runs and seven hits over three innings in an 8-0 loss to Cleveland. Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesThe Washington Nationals have told MLB teams star right fielder Bryce Harper is available ahead of Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported Monday.MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi reported earlier in the day the Cleveland Indians had inquired about the Nationals' willingness to move the six-time All-Star.The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal followed up on Feinsand's report but threw some cold water on the rumors:Ken Rosenthal Ken_RosenthalSources confirm: #Nationals sending shocked if they do it,鈥?one rival exec says. seeing if someone wants to go crazy.鈥?First with the news that Harper was available: chelsea_janes and Feinsand.At the very least, Washington appears prepared to cash out ahead of the deadline rather than try to reinforce its roster in hopes of getting into the playoffs. At 52-53, the Nationals are six games back in the National League East and NL wild-card race.Granted, just because the Nationals are prepared to trade Harper doesn't mean the 2015 NL MVP will be on the move this summer.Harper is a free agent in the offseason Tyler Clippard Jersey , so potential suitors will naturally be hesitant to give up top prospects for a half-season rental, even for a player with Harper's pedigree.Harper's performance this year makes it even harder to gauge his value on the trade market.He's batting .220 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI in 103 games. He's also 48th among qualified players in weighted on-base average (.355) and 52nd in weighted runs created plus (121), per FanGraphs. The fact he's slugging .439 on the road compared to .512 at Nationals Park, according to Baseball Reference, is less than comforting as well.The 25-year-old would clearly be a difference-maker in the stretch run for a playoff contender, but his reputation arguably outweighs his on-field contributions.While Harper will be the most interesting story in baseball to follow Tuesday, fans should be prepared for an underwhelming conclusion when the deadline passes.
