Weaver (6-1) earned the win over the Reds on Thursday. He was charged with one unearned run on two hits and struck out six over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
This was an excellent performance from the 24-year-old, as he allowed a top-five scoring offense in the NL to put just two runners on over six. With this showing, Weaver brought his ERA under 2.00, and he's now picked up wins in five straight starts. Given how difficult it's been this year to find reliable starting pitching, Weaver is looking like a potential second-half fantasy MVP. He lines up to face the Reds again next week, this time in Cincinnati.
