Sounds like you recorded this before Weaver’s start yesterday but he looked good. In 4 of his 5 innings he faced 4 or fewer batters including 2 3 and out innings. His one bad inning was a double to Pollock, walks to Lamb and Goldschmidt (both on 3-2 pitches) and then an opposite field HR right down the line to JD Martinez. 4 good hitters, that’s all. He then retired 3 of the next 4 batters easily to get out of the inning.
