Weaver throws first career no-hitter



ANAHEIM -- The Angels' offense finally kicked into gear in the series finale against the Twins, but that wasn't even close to being the story.
 
On Wednesday night, it was all about Jered Weaver, the ace pitcher who recorded his first no-hitter and the ninth individual no-hitter in Angels history, leading his club to a 9-0 victory that gave them the sweep and three straight wins for the first time this year.
 
Weaver came in having given up just three runs in his last 21 2/3 innings. And prior to a two-out, seventh-inning walk to Josh Willingham, the only baserunner he had allowed came on a strikeout-passed ball by catcher Chris Iannetta.

"This is an unbelievable moment for me and the fans," Weaver said. "I never dreamed this would happen. What a feeling."
 
Against a Twins starting lineup that had five hitters batting under .260, and was shut out on three hits by Jerome Williams the night before, Weaver struck out nine, walked one and started out ahead on 16 of the hitters he faced. Twelve of his outs were lazy flyouts, five of his outs were weak grounders and only one -- on a Trevor Plouffe ball Torii Hunter made a running catch on in right field -- was a line drive.
 
"I don't think you ever think you have a shot," Weaver said. "But as soon as the fourth, fifth, sixth rolls around, you see that goose egg up there and you want to see if you can do it. A lot of things need to go your way and that happened tonight."
 
Weaver's no-hitter was the second of the year, following the April 21 perfect game by White Sox righty Phil Humber, and the 11th in baseball since the start of the 2010 season.
 
He becomes the second member of the Angels' current rotation to throw one, joining Ervin Santana, who got his against the Indians on July 27 of last year.

Sick.

And there are still 3 teams who never threw one.  Who woulda thunk it, a no-hitter happens before Albert Pujols hits his 1st for the angels.
