Torre rejected the notion of making a full-time starter out of Jeff Weaver, who responded to the rare opportunity to face younger brother Jered on Saturday night with five-plus innings for a win that left his overall record at 4-1 and as a starter 2-0 with a 3.15 ERA, compared to a relief ERA of 4.50.
"I think he favors the bullpen," said Torre. "He's valuable out of the bullpen. To me, I learned this long ago, when a game gets out of hand early, you need somebody to stop the bleeding and give your team a chance to catch up. He seems very comfortable in that role. That's where I'd rather have him."
