Don't be fooled by Jared Weaver's last start, which was his first shutout since 2012. Weaver is past his prime and that victory against Houston came at the price of throwing a season-high 120 pitches. Weaver hadn't thrown more than 98 pitches all season until then.




Even with that victory, Weaver still has a 4.38 ERA and the Angels have lost in seven of his last nine starts. Weaver's fastball didn't exceed 88 mph and his last two road starts have been brutal - 11 runs and 16 hits, including four homers - in 12 innings against the A's and Giants. Those poor numbers were put up in pitcher's parks, too. Now he faces the Orioles at hitter-friendly Camden Yards.




The Angels haven't played a game that was out of West Coast time since April 20. They are 3-8 in their last 11 games at Baltimore and Weaver is 0-4 with a 6.30 ERA during his last five starts at Camden Yards.




Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen hasn't allowed more than three earned runs during any of his last six starts. The Orioles are 22-8 in Chen's last 30 home starts. They also are 16-4 in Chen's past 20 starts versus AL West opponents and 8-1 when he pitches on five day's rest.
