Jered Weaver yielded only two hits and one run in a complete game in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Astros.
Weaver whiffed five and walked only one. It's time to start wondering: Are our lying eyes deceiving us? Weaver appears to have diminished stuff, and nobody was surprised when that flatter-than-usual arsenal produced an 0-2 start with a 5.79 ERA through three starts. Since that time, he's turned in seven strong starts in a row. He's only coughed up three homers during that span -- including George Springer's solo long fly tonight -- which won't continue, but owners need to ride the wave as long as Weaver continues fooling big league hitters. Now 5-3 with a 2.85 ERA and 0.99 WHIP, Weaver has a road date in Seattle on Tuesday.
