The ERA is his lowest among all teams hed faced more than 15 times.The veteran pitched a three-hit shutout in his previous visit to Oakland on June 19.Angels manager Mike Scioscia made it clear after Weavers previous start that he has no intention of replacing his top pitchers with prospects just because his club is out of playoff contention.Our philosophy and the way were going to approach every day, he said, is to go out there and win a game by starting with the first pitch of the game and winning that pitch and winning situations and going out there and playing the game the way we need to play it.The Angels flew south from Seattle on Sunday night without right-hander Matt Shoemaker, who remained hospitalized for observation after being hit in the head by a line drive in LAs 4-2 win over the Mariners.Shoemaker was diagnosed with a small skull fracture.The Angels (61-75) won two of three in the series and have opened a three-game lead over the As (58-79) in the battle to escape last place in the AL West.ETwaun Moore Pelicans Jersey .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win.
