ANAHEIM -- A week ago, Joe Wieland thought he would be in Oklahoma City with the Dodgers' Triple-A club in the Minor League playoffs, instead he was making his second start of the season in the Majors, and he did a solid job on Wednesday night in a 3-2 loss to the Angels.
Following a win against the Giants on Sept. 2, Wieland was told he would be optioned to Oklahoma City, but the club changed its mind. A week later, Wieland took the mound at Angel Stadium.
"I thought we got really good pitching from Joe Wieland," manager Don Mattingly said.
