Diamondbacks starter Luke Weaver took the mound against an Angels lineup full of backups and minor leaguers this afternoon at Salt River Fields. Justin Upton and Anthony Rendon played in the back fields B game this morning, an there was no Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani in today’s lineup.
The somewhat easier assignment did not help Weaver navigate his first spring outing. He gave up a run on a walk and two singles in the first inning, and had to leave with just one out in the 2nd with a run in and runners on 1st and 3rd, due to hitting his pitch limit (45).
