Angels Vs Blue Jays Results: LAA Wins Again, Up 3-0 In The Series

Angels vs Blue Jays results: LAA wins behind Cogner's five RBI performance. 

He added a homerun en route to the 9-3 Angels victory vs the Blue Jays in Toronto. The results are now a 3-0 series lead in the four-game set with the conclusion coming on Monday.

Jered Weaver asked to come out of the game for the first time in his MLB career, according to ESPN.com. Weaver won his fourth straight decision, Hank Conger hit a three-run home run and had a career-high five RBIs, and the Los Angeles Angels beat Toronto 9-3 Sunday for their seventh straight win over the Blue Jays.

Weaver (4-2) improved to 4-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his past four starts. He allowed one run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings, walked two and struck out five, according to ESPN.com.

"I thought he mixed and matched," said manager Mike Scioscia, who returned after missing two games to attend his daughter's college graduation. "He definitely went through a tough lineup. His ability to locate and change speeds got him through most of the game."

When Weaver's ability to locate started to fade, the right-hander stunned Conger by telling pitching coach Mike Butcher that it was time to turn to the bullpen.

Butcher came to the mound after Weaver walked Juan Francisco to load the bases with one out in the seventh. Scioscia and Butcher both felt comfortable letting Weaver face Colby Rasmus, but Weaver had other ideas.

"I just couldn't get over the hump there in the seventh," Weaver said. "I didn't have any command of the fastball."

After a lengthy chat, Weaver told Butcher that reliever Michael Kohn should face Rasmus instead. Weaver said it's the first time he's ever asked to come out of a game

"First time for everything," he said. "Sometimes you've got to push the ego aside a little bit and realize that guy coming in might have a little better stuff than you've got."

Kohn came on and got Rasmus to pop out, then struck out Steve Tolleson looking.

Conger, who was part of the mound discussion, said he was "a little shocked" at Weaver's request.

"Usually he wants the ball, he wants to keep going," Conger said of Weaver. "It was just very good assessment on his part, he kind of knew he was fatiguing a little bit. It was just a weird situation because I've never seen it before."

Scioscia had no problem with Weaver's decision.

"He's usually just full throttle but when he's tired, it's important for him to let us know," Scioscia said.
