On June 18, 1989, Weston picked up his only career major league save. It came against the Oakland Athletics. Weston pitched three shutout innings to close out a 4-2 Orioles victory, saving the game for starter Dave Schmidt.[4] He spent most of the 1990 season with the Rochester Red Wings where he had an 111 record with a 1.98 ERA but was 7+23 innings short of qualifying for the ERA title. He was traded from the Orioles to the Blue Jays for Paul Kilgus on December 14, 1990.[5]

A native of Flint, Michigan, Weston attended Eastern Michigan University. In 1981, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[6] He was selected by the Mets in the 12th round of the 1982 MLB Draft.
