Weaver Answers Back, Grab’s Angels’ 26th Victory
June 3rd, 2009 by Josh Jones
Angels starter Jered Weaver struck out a career high 10 batters tonight, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 8-1. Chone Figgins lead the offense, going 3-5 with a pair of doubles and improving his average to a terrific .303. Bobby Abreu connected with his second home-run of the year, belting a fastball from Casey Janssen in the first inning.
It was a quick and silent victory, as the Angels improved to 26-25 on the year (still 4.5 games behind the Texas Rangers). John Lackey will take the mound for tomorrow night’s game, and will face Blue Jays lefty Brian Tallet. Anaheim needs to get on a roll quickly, as they can not continue to hover around .500 the entire year…..
