Weaver faces former club in his return

Apr 22, 2007 - 2:52 PM Seattle (5-8) at LA Angels (8-9) ,3:35 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - Jeff Weaver hopes facing his former club will give him a boost of inspiration.

Weaver makes his return with the Seattle Mariners as they seek a three-game series sweep of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Sunday.

Last season Weaver (0-2, 15.75 ERA) was released by the Angels in mid-season, but the righthander was picked up by the St. Louis Cardinals and helped them win a World Series title.

However, Weaver was on the move again after choosing not to resign with the defending champions, instead inking a one-year deal with Seattle in the offseason.

Weaver has struggled with his new team in two starts, allowing seven runs and 10 hits in six innings of an 11-2 defeat against Minnesota on Tuesday. He is 5-5 with a 2.78 ERA against the Angels.

Ervin Santana (1-2, 7.63) will take the mound for the Angels with the hopes of spoiling Weaver's return. Santana looks to bounce back from his last outing as he was tagged for seven runs in four frames in a 7-2 loss at Boston.

The Dominican righthander is 20-5 with a 3.07 ERA over 32 starts at home. Santana's lone victory this season came here on April 4 against Texas, allowing just two runs in seven innings.

On Saturday, Bartolo Colon pitched seven strong innings in his first game in eight months following rotator cuff surgery for a 7-6 triumph.
