August 18, 2006 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim the Los Angeles Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 3-0. The Angels got an RBI from Vladimir Guerrero in the bottom of the first and two more runs on a Mike Napoli homer in the bottom of the 4th inning. Jered Weaver pitched 7 innings, allowing no runs on 3 hits, striking out 7 for the win. Weaver was drafted by the Angels in the first round (12th overall) in the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft and made his MLB debut in May of 2006 against the Baltimore Orioles, striking out 5 in 7 shutout innings for the victory. He would then win three more consecutive starts before being sent back to the minors. After being recalled by the Angels in June, this game would be Weaver's 9th straight victory, opening the season at 9-0, tying the American League record held by Whitey Ford in 1950 of wins to start a major league career.
