ANAHEIM – Jered Weaver’s neck began to tighten in the third inning, but it was not enough to derail a near-perfect Sunday afternoon by the Angels pitcher.
Weaver shook off the stiffness and threw six shutout innings before giving up a two-run home run in a 10-2 victory against Baltimore at Angel Stadium.
Despite the sore neck, Weaver’s arm was in fine working order, scattering just five hits and striking out six in seven innings, the only blip being that home run with two outs in the seventh.
“Weaver got stronger as the game went on,” Manager Mike Scoiscia said.
