joined Nolan Ryan as the only Angels pitchers to reach double-digits in wins for eight straight seasons. "It speaks volumes to the quality of pitcher that Weaver is. Hes one of the top pitchers in our league," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Even when he doesnt have his best stuff he gives us chances to win. He competes with anyone." Ryan won at least 10 games from 1972-79. Chuck Finley also reached 10 wins in eight seasons for the Angels, although not consecutively. "Im not really a guy who reflects on personal stuff. Im all for winning a championship as opposed to getting excited about getting eight consecutive seasons with 10 wins," Weaver said. "But its cool milestone." "Ive been pretty fortunate to play on some good teams throughout my career," he said. "A lot of guys had my back. When you are on some good teams and you throw the ball well, youre going to get some wins." Brett Wallace homered for Houston, which leads the majors with 97 losses.

"I know he spent some time on the DL and it just so happened that with all the times that weve faced them we hadnt seen him." Rookie Brett Oberholtzer (4-3) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings. The 24-year-old lefty entered the game with a 1.91 ERA since July 31, best in the AL over that span. Weaver allowed two runs on six hits, including Wallaces 13th homer in the fourth. He struck out five and walked one. Weaver also moved into sole possession of fourth place on the Angels strikeout list, fanning Marc Krauss to end the sixth for his 1,234th strikeout, one more than Frank Tanana. He trails Ryan (2,416), Finley (2,151) and Mike Witt (1,283). Relievers Michael Kohn, Dane De La Rosa and Juan Gutierrez each pitched a scoreless inning for the Angels. Iannetta gave the Angels the lead in the third inning with his 11th home run. Howie Kendrick, Kole Calhoun and Iannetta each drove in a run in the fourth to give Los Angeles a 4-0 lead. Wallace hit a two-run homer in the fourth. The Astros loaded the bases in the fifth on consecutive two-out singles by Marwin Gonzalez, Jonathan Villar and Jose Altuve, but Weaver escaped the jam by striking out Trevor Crowe. Grant Green scored from third on a passed ball in the Angels seventh. He tripled in the ninth and scored on J.B. Shucks sacrifice fly.
