Angels' Weaver: 'Basically I'm serving BP up there right now'
Jered Weaver continues to search for answers as the Los Angeles Angels right-hander's struggles show no signs of relenting.
"Basically I'm serving BP up there right now," Weaver told reporters Sunday following a 5-0 loss. "What are you going to do? I've got to work with what I've got."
Weaver allowed five runs off 10 hits and a pair of home runs to the San Francisco Giants to drop to 0-4 to start the season with a 6.29 ERA.

Weaver pieced a pair of strong starts together against the Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics in the middle of April but appears back at square one following his last two outings.
"Just when you think everything is going to go good ... it starts out like it did today," Weaver said. "Just got to figure a way to dig myself out of this."
Manager Mike Scioscia said following Weaver's last start, in which he allowed six runs over seven innings, that he's confident that the 10-year veteran will figure things out. Scioscia stood by that Sunday, saying that he doesn't plan to skip any of his starts.
"I don't think there's any magic pixie dust you can sprinkle on it and get him going," Scioscia told Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com. "It's gonna be a process. He's not injured."
