ST. T. J. Leaf Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Back on the mound at Tropicana Field, Kansas Citys James Shield looked and felt right at home. The right-hander sparkled in his return to the stadium where he earned a living for the first seven seasons of his career, limiting the Tampa Bay Rays to three hits and striking out 10 in seven innings to help the Royals beat his former team 6-0 on Monday night. No pitcher has had more success at The Trop than Shields, who remains Tampa Bays all-time leader in victories with 87, including a franchise-best 47 at home. "Its definitely special to come back here," said Shields (9-4), who was dealt to the Royals in December 2012 as part of a seven-player trade in which Kansas City sent 2013 AL rookie of the year Wil Myers and another top young prospect, Jake Odorizzi (4-, to Tampa Bay. "Theres so many memories. Ive thrown some shutouts here and Ive also thrown some champagne on the field," the 32-year-old said. "The fans were great tonight to me, welcoming me back, and thats always a great feeling." Shields allowed singles to Ben Zobrist and James Loney in the first two innings, then worked through a jam in the third after giving up a one-out double to Kevin Kiermaier. He retired 10 straight, six by strikeout, before hitting Evan Longoria with a pitch leading off the seventh. Alex Gordon and Omar Infante drove in runs in the third inning for the Royals, giving Shields all the offensive support he would need to beat Odorizzi. "Weve seen that act before," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said of the performance by Shields. "Wrong uniform this time, though." Shields, who had struggled in his three most recent starts, rebounded from allowing five runs and nine hits over five innings of a 10-2 loss at Minnesota last week. "You could tell right off the bat that, OK, lets get this guy a couple of runs and lets ride with it," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Thats exactly what happened." The Royals tacked on two runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth -- with Infante and Gordon both collecting their second RBIs of the game -- and finished with 14 hits. Wade Davis, another former Tampa Bay pitcher the Royals obtained in the Shields trade, worked a perfect eighth. Scott Downs finished the combined four-hitter, giving up a ninth-inning single to Zobrist. The loss was just the third in 13 games for the Rays, who were coming off a road trip in which they went 9-2 to climb out of the AL East cellar. Odorizzi allowed two runs and six hits, struck out eight and walked two in his third career appearance against the Royals, who beat the 24-year-old in Kansas City on April 9. "All the series we played on the road we played fantastic. I guess we were kind of due for one of these games," Odorizzi said. "I dont think this game is really going to set us back that much in the long run." Shields won his only previous matchup against his former team 8-2 at Kansas City on April 30, 2013. He remains Tampa Bays career leader in starts, strikeouts and innings pitched, in addition to wins. He won the franchises first-ever post-season game and owns the clubs only World Series victory. NOTES: Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson will make his season debut Tuesday night, returning from right elbow surgery. The Royals will counter with LHP Jason Vargas (8-3, 3.32 ERA). ... Kansas City DH Billy Butler, who entered mired in a 3-for-23 slide, was dropped to seventh in the lineup. Its the lowest spot for him this season. ... The Royals sent OF Nori Aoki (strained left groin) to Double-A Northwest Arkansas for a rehab assignment. ... The Rays announced the signing of Dominican Republic prospect Adrian Rondon for $2.95 million on the shortstops 16th birthday. Minor league pitcher Matt Ramsey was traded to Miami for the Marlins second, third and fourth international bonus slots, a move that provided the team with more than $1 million to go toward the signing of Rondon.
