Weaver allowed two runs on five hits in six innings to take a loss against the Astros on Wednesday. He struck out six and walked two in the contest.
Weaver has thrown the ball well of late, allowing five runs in his last 19.2 innings while striking out 17 batters over that span. The right-hander will take a 3.56 ERA into his start against the Indians on Monday, when he will look to notch his fourth consecutive quality start.

Weaver tossed seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits to pick up his 15th win of the season over the A's on Friday. He walked three and struck out three in the contest.
Weaver picked a good time to toss his first scoreless outing of the season Friday, as the Angels moved three games in front of the A's in the AL West on the strength of the performance. Weaver is likely not having the season he expected of himself, as his 3.57 ERA represents the 31-year-old's highest mark since 2009, but the win moved him into a tie with Max Scherzer for the lead in the American League.

Weaver allowed three runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings to record a win over the A's on Sunday. He struck out eight batters without issuing a walk in the contest.
Weaver was working on a shutout Sunday before allowing two home runs in the seventh inning, which resulted in his removal from the contest. Despite the shaky frame, the 31-year-old looked sharp in the contest, as he tallied his highest strikeout total in over a month. He will look to build on the impressive performance when he takes a 3.72 ERA into his next start, which will also come against the A's.

Weaver allowed three runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings en route to a no-decision against the Red Sox on Tuesday. He walked four while striking out just one in the contest.
The fate of Weaver and the Halos could have been quite different if not for Kole Calhoun, who made a spectacular catch at the left field wall to rob a would-be three-run blast off the bat of Brock Holt in the second inning. Aside from a spectacular May, when he pitched to a 1.98 ERA in five starts, Weaver has been mediocre this season, having not tallied an ERA lower than 3.94 in any other month. He will attempt to have a less exciting outing when he takes the ball against the A's on Sunday.

Weaver allowed two runs on eight hits through six innings to pick up a win over the Phillies on Wednesday. He struck out five and walked two in the contest.
Weaver battled through most of the evening, leaving the mound after the sixth with a 2-1 deficit before the Halos put up three runs in the bottom of the frame to allow the 31-year-old to pick up the win. Weaver has been unseated as the ace of the Angels' staff by Garrett Richards this season, but he has still been a serviceable option. He will take a 3.66 ERA into a start against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Weaver allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings in a loss against the Red Sox on Friday. He struck out three and walked two in the outing.
Weaver looked sharp out of the gate Friday, as he didn't allow a run in his first two innings of work, but a three-spot from the Red Sox in the third followed by a mike Napoli home run in the fifth was enough to hand Weaver his seventh loss of the season. He will look to avoid the big inning when he takes a 3.68 ERA into a start against the Rangers on Friday.

Jered Weaver was fortunate to go home with a no-decision, as he allowed six runs over five innings, but the Angels fell in 12 innings to the Orioles by a 7-6 margin.
Weaver had been pitching much better lately, allowing exactly two runs in each of his last three outings, but the Orioles were squaring him up well on Tuesday. The right-hander surrendered two home runs: a solo shot to Adam Jones, and a three-run shot to Nick Markakis. Overall, he yielded seven hits and walked four while striking out four. Now with a 3.62 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and a 114/42 K/BB ratio, Weaver will look to get back on track when he takes on the Rays in a road start on Sunday.

Jered Weaver limited the Orioles to two runs on six hits over eight innings Wednesday in a 3-2 win.
He struck out six and walked zero. The Angels have won seven consecutive Weaver starts (with Weaver himself getting credit for four of those victories). The 31-year-old has encouragingly held the opposition in the ballpark in each of his last four starts, and six of his last seven. Weaver improves to 11-6 with a 3.36 ERA and 1.12 WHIP, numbers he'll take into a rematch with the Orioles on Tuesday.
