Clayton Kershaw only wishes he were this efficient. Yesterday Weaver did what Kershaw - or anybody - has yet to do this year: throw something called a "Maddux". That would be a complete game shutout in under 100 pitches. Yeah, new to me, too. Anyway, Weave is the first MLB pitcher to pull that off this season, in either league.
Oakland, clearly exhausted from the 26 runs they pasted on the Rangers, were ripe for the picking. 3 runs on Friday, down to 1 run on Saturday, and completely spent for Weaver. It also helps that Weaver has enjoyed his most success against Oakland throughout his career.
