Inland Empire 66ers News Release

San Bernardino, CA - Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver is scheduled to make his second appearance of the year at San Manuel Stadium tonight as part of a Major League injury-rehabilitation assignment. The Angels icon and 66ers will be squaring off against the Lake Elsinore Storm, the California League affiliate of the San Diego Padres, at 7:05pm.

In his first start for the 66ers this past Thursday, the Northridge native threw 3.2 innings, giving up just one run. He also struck out two batters as well as issued two walks. Out of the 63 pitches he threw, 42 were strikes.

Weaver, the Angels 2004 first-round pick (12th overall) out of Long Beach State, has been sidelined since late-June with inflammation in his left hip. The three-time American League All-Star has amassed a career record of 135-77 with a 3.36 ERA and 1,454 strikeouts. In 2015, the righty has a 4-8 mark with a 4.75 ERA. Last season, the Angels icon led the league in games started (34) and wins (18). Weaver was a 20-game winner in 2012 and led the league with 233 strikeouts in 2010.

Groups of 20-or-more fans should call the 66ers front office at (909) 888-9922. The evening's promotion is "$2 Tuesday" with $2 tickets, parking, hot dogs, soda, popcorn, and ice cream sandwiches in honor of the relationship between the Inland Empire 66ers and the Selective Service System.
