The LA Angels look for Revenge Against the Boston Red Sox

Among those wishing for Jered Weaver to get well soon during his recent illness, no one may have been more sincere than the Boston Red Sox. But instead of missing Weaver for a second consecutive four-game set, the Red Sox now expect to face the red-hot Los Angeles Angels ace Monday night in the series opener at Fenway Park.

Weaver’s bid to win seven consecutive starts to begin a season for a second time was pushed back one day due to a stomach virus, which kept him from his scheduled start Sunday at Tampa Bay and caused him to lose about nine pounds in the last few days.

Weaver (6-0, 0.99 ERA) flew somewhat under the radar despite leading the majors in strikeouts last season, but he’s gained plenty of attention during his brilliant beginning to 2011. A win Monday would make him the first pitcher in at least 93 years to win his first seven starts in a season twice in a career - a feat he first accomplished as a rookie in 2006.

The right-hander has been especially sharp in his last two outings, throwing back-to-back complete games - including a seven-hitter with 10 strikeouts in a 5-0 win over Oakland last Monday.

Weaver didn’t have a chance to prevent Boston’s four-game road sweep of the Angels (16-12) from April 21-24, but he lost to the Red Sox (12-15) in both meetings last year. His ERA is 7.76 in five starts at Fenway, including one of his worst outings of 2010 on Aug. 17, when he allowed six runs in five innings of a 6-0 defeat.

Clay Buchholz (1-3, 5.33) pitched brilliantly in that game, and he’ll oppose Weaver again - also because of an illness that forced his Sunday start to be pushed back.The right-hander has struggled to replicate his 2010 success, and he allowed a career-high 12 hits and four runs in 6 2-3 innings of Tuesday’s 4-1 loss at Baltimore.

Look for a pitching duel in Boston with the Red Sox winning a close one.
