ANAHEIM, Calif., April 26 (UPI) -- Jered Weaver posted his sixth win in six starts this season Monday, tossing a seven-hit shutout in the Los Angeles Angels' 5-0 whitewash of Oakland.
Weaver (6-0) extended his major-league lead in wins while lowering his American League-best ERA to 0.99 with his third career shutout.
The right-hander yielded only one walk while striking out 10 -- improving his major-league best total to 49 in 45 2/3 innings -- and became the first pitcher to win six of his team's first 23 games since Randy Johnson did it for Arizona in 2002.
Howie Kendrick stroked a two-run single among his two hits for the Angels, who broke a four-game losing streak.
A's starter Gio Gonzalez (2-2) surrendered four earned runs on eight hits over five innings.
Coco Crisp went 3-for-4 for Oakland, which lost for the fourth time in six contests.
