Angels | Weaver earns win Friday

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP Jered Weaver allowed three runs on four hits over six innings Friday, June 26, against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to The Associated Press. He walked four and struck out five, improving to 8-3 on the season.

Analysis: Weaver wasn’t at his sharpest in this one, throwing only 55 of 91 pitches for strikes and issuing the four free passes. He also served up a pair of homers, pushing his season total to 10. He got more than enough run support from his offense, though, and rebounded reasonably well from a six-run pasting by the Dodgers in his last start. The big righty will need to improve on his command when he takes the hill again on July 1 in Texas vs. a dangerous Rangers lineup.
