Jeff Samardzija bounces back but White Sox fall to Weaver, Halos

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jeff Samardzija found his rhythm again on Wednesday night but Jered Weaver kept the White Sox offense from ever finding one.

Samardzija bounced back from a horrid start to August with seven strong innings but the Los Angeles Angels downed the White Sox 1-0 in front of 35,036 at Angel Stadium. Carlos Perez’s sixth-inning solo home run provided the only offense of the game and earned a win for Weaver, who pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings.

“(Weaver) knows what he has to do when he’s on the mound and he showed it tonight,” Jose Abreu said through an interpreter. “He kept me off balance all night long and he was tough. I wasn’t able to make an adjustment because he was very good.
