Anaheim, CA -- (Sports Network) - Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver's start against Cleveland was cut short at 77 pitches because of tightness in his back after three frames.

Weaver gave up two runs on three hits with two walks and four strikeouts as the Angels posted a 3-2 victory over the Indians.

"I felt great in the (bullpen). Then it tightened up in the first inning. There's a big old knot back there," Weaver said. "I was battling as much as I could, but it was better for me to come out. Our bullpen did a great job."
