Jered Weaver, the winning pitcher in tonight's game, led the Angels to victory with a CGO against the Athletics. Now the Angels are back in their rightful spot as the second place team in the AL West, which is much sadder to type out than I realized. They're finally getting their footing reset as the Wild Card leaders, and once they get back on their feet the run for the division against the Texas Rangers is going to get much hotter.Untill then, the Angels have quite a bit of catching up to do.Angels 4 Athletics 0  Game Recap The Angels were able to get to a typically dominate Jarrod Parker early, tagging him for 2 runs in the top of the 2nd, which would prove to be the only support Weaver needed. Weaver, in complete contrast to Parker's 4 ER outing, was able to go all 9 innings in a 4 hit shutout of the Athletics in Oakland ton...

Everything good...
