Weaver, unbeaten in his first Major League season, worked six brilliant innings at Yankee Stadium, allowing just three hits, and won his eighth straight decision as the Angels defeated the New York Yankees 5-3.

Jered resembles Jeff physically, with the same California blond locks and a similar tall, thin frame. Even the pitching motions are similar, although the Yankees said Jeff throws more sidearm than his brother.

After a disappointment with the Yankees, Jeff was traded to the Angels in 2004, same year that Jered was picked by Los Angeles in the first-round of the amateur draft. When the Angels promoted the younger Weaver in June, the older one was designated for assignment and wound up to St. Louis.
