Jered Weaver scattered three hits over eight innings in his final start before heading to his third straight All-Star game, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-0 on Saturday night.
Weaver (10-1) won his fourth straight outing since coming off the disabled list, striking out five and walking one while lowering his ERA to 1.96.
Weaver joined Sandy Koufax (1963-64) as the only pitchers since 1950 with consecutive seasons of double-digit wins and an ERA under 2.00 before the All-Star break.
During his seven-year career, the Angels' ace is 59-26 with a 2.84 ERA in 110 starts before the All-Star break.
Last season he was 11-4 with a 1.86 ERA in 19 starts before the break.
Scott Downs pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in eight attempts.
