Weaver Shuts Down Mariners 4-0, Leads League In ERA

SEATTLE (AP) -- Jered Weaver threw a five-hitter for his second shutout of the season and finally got some run support on the road thanks to a four-run first inning as the Angels won consecutive games for the first time since late May with a 4-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.

The Angels took advantage of one awful inning from Seattle starter Doug Fister (3-8) and Weaver made that one outburst stand up to give him his eighth win of the season and the Angels franchise their 4,000th win.

Weaver (8-4) gave up four singles and Ichiro Suzuki's ninth-inning double in his third complete game of the season. He struck out six and walked only one.

Torii Hunter, Howie Kendrick, Russell Branyan and Peter Bourjos all had run-scoring hits in the first.
