BALTIMORE -- Mike Scioscia didn't even have to wait for the question to be asked. Jered Weaver is starting Sunday afternoon against the Orioles on three days rest. "It's a calculated risk with anything that you do," Scioscia said. "This is gonna be one day short, and more importantly, Weav doesn't see it as any issue nor [pitching coach Mike Butcher]. So that [gives] me the confidence to know he' college football schedule s not gonna be at any risk." The move lines up the rotation to have Weaver, Ervin Santana and Dan Haren each start in the final regular season series against the Rangers. The Angels entered Saturday night's game against the Orioles 3 1/2 games behind Texas in the American League West. They are trying to become the first AL team ever to win its division after trailing by 3 1/2 games with 12 or fewe college football schedule r games remaining. Weaver pitched on three days rest once before this season and allowed seven earned runs over six-plus innings in the 9-5 loss to the Rangers Aug. 28. He pitched well enough to keep his team in the game until the seventh, where Scioscia said, "we stretched him a little bit." Physically, Weaver said he felt fine going into that start, but the game-time temperature was 103 degrees college football schedule at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. "Anytime we go into Texas on three days rest or five days rest or six days rest or 10 days rest, it's gonna be a battle," Weaver said. "Those guys play real well on their home field. I just left some pitches up, and they were able to put some good wood on it." Scioscia said Jerome Williams will pitch Monday at Toronto, followed by Joel Pineiro on Tuesday. Worth college football schedule noting #149; The Angels are 3-for-35 with runners in scoring position over their last five games. "I don't see it as any philosophical issue," Scioscia said. "I don't see it as any thought process of guys in the batter's box. It's as much a function of guys not swinging to their capability and happen to have guys in scoring position as it is not getting as many out there." #149; Angels starte college football schedule r Ervin Santana is looking for a career-best sixth-straight road victory tonight against the Orioles. He has a 2.06 ERA over his last five road starts. #149; There was a brief scare in Saturday night's 6-2 loss to the Orioles when Angels rookie outfielder Mike Trout fouled a pitch off his left calf in the ninth inning. Trout fell to his knees and took a few steps to walk it off before returning to college football schedule the batter's box, where he eventually struck out to end the game. "It hurts pretty bad," said Trout. "It feels like a big cramp in my calf. Put some ice on it, see how I feel tomorrow." college football schedule
