Weber (1-0) earned the win in his first appearance of the season Tuesday against the Dodgers, as he allowed just one run and three hits over 3.2 relief innings. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter.
Weber was nasty, as he induced seven swinging strikes in just 47 pitches. He started five games for Atlanta last season and recorded a 4.76 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Weber was pitching in a relief role for Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the season, where he didn't allow a run in 8.1 innings. It's unclear if Weber will get a chance to move into the rotation or will remain in a long relief or swingman type of role, but performances like this will certainly help him earn a starting spot.
