MINNEAPOLIS -- One day removed from an ejection after hitting Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager with a pitch in Seattle, Angels starter Jered Weaver seemed interested in putting the issue to rest.
In the fifth inning Wednesday, Seager had been getting settled into the batter's box, holding his hand up to ask for time when the two had words. Weaver hit him with the next pitch. Postgame, Seager said he thought Weaver had quit on his team.
"I was surprised he hit me because if you hit me there, it's pretty obvious what's going to happen -- he's going to be out of the game," Seager said.
