The Phillies came away with the win after dropping five of seven and salvaged a two-game split in their first trip to Chicagos South Side since 2004.These guys are grinding, Eickhoff said.

He struck out six and walked none.The home runs by Hernandez leading off the third and Joseph in the sixth brought Shields total to 31 this season and 22 since the White Sox acquired him from San Diego on June 4.Honestly, I think the only pitch I made a mistake on was that last one, the home run in the sixth inning, he said. The ball kind of slipped out of my hand a little bit and I left it over the plate. Other than that, I felt really good with my location tonight. I was hitting my spots consistently. They were getting hits here and there, but thats part of it.Shields is 0-4 with a 13.95 ERA in five starts this month after posting a 1.78 ERA over five outings in July.Navarro hit a two-run homer in the sixth.
