Jered Weaver struck out 10 over eight shutout innings in a 5-0 win over the Royals on Friday night. That's beastly. Weaver allowed only four hits (three of them singles) and didn't walk a batter. He actually retired 13 in a row at one point before giving up a double to Jeff Francoeur in the top of the seventh. However, he made up for it by quickly picking Francoeur off second base. Coming off back-to-back dominant seasons, the 29-year-old right-hander has officially joined the upper echelon of fantasy hurlers.
