The Los Angeles Angels have beat Jered Weaver in their arbitration case, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.

With the arbitration decision, Weaver will now make $7.375 million. The right-hander’s arbitration decision is the first player to lose their arbitration case in 2011.

Weaver has requested a salary of $8.8 million while the Angels countered with an offer of $7.375 million.  Weaver made $4.265 million in 2010 when he went 13-12 with a 3.01 ERA while striking out a league leading 233 batters.
