Plymouth Argyle made it three League One wins in a row as Conor Grant's second-half strike secured home victory over Shrewsbury Town.
Grant fired the Pilgrims ahead in the 62nd minute as he swept home from Luke Jephcott's pinpoint low centre from the right byline.
In the first half, Shrews defender Matthew Pennington had his header saved by home goalkeeper Michael Cooper while Argyle's best efforts were a shot by Panutche Camara and a header by Jordan Houghton.
Danny Mayor signalled the start of a brighter second half with a thumping 25-yard rising drive that flew past diving Marko Marosi's goal.
The visitors' keeper needed the assistance of Pennington to keep out Argyle's next meaningful attack, turning away after striker Jephcott slipped the ball past Marosi.
After Grant broke the deadlock, Shrewsbury pressed for an equaliser.
Cooper spilled George Nurse' 81st-minute free-kick to the far post but Argyle full-back James Bolton cleared ball away from danger.
