Weaver (3-1) racked up 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings against Milwaukee on Wednesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk to collect the win.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals put 10 runs of support on the board, which doesn't hurt, but this was Weaver's second consecutive 10-strikeout start. His early returns have been nothing short of outstanding, as Weaver owns a 36:9 K:BB to accompany his 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 29 innings, and while that strikeout rate may not be sustainable for him, he's given fantasy owners plenty of reason for optimism. After all, the 24-year-old dominated in Triple-A this year and has seen his fastball velocity improve markedly from last season. He'll make his next start Sunday on the road against the Giants.
