Career highlights include:*a four-hit, complete game shutout against the San Francisco Giants (June 14, 1969)*going 3-for-4 with 4 RBI and pitching the first 7.2 innings of an 11–4 victory over the New York Mets. (July 11, 1969)*pitched 11 innings with 15 strikeouts, giving up just 2 runs (both unearned), with no decision, against the New York Mets (September 10, 1969)*a three-hit, seven strikeout complete game against the Chicago Cubs, winning 8–2 (September 15, 1969)*a seven-hit, six strikeout complete game against the Chicago Cubs, winning 6–2 (August 5, 1970)
Wegener hit well for a pitcher, with 9 runs batted in and a batting average of .193 in just 88 lifetime at bats. He was also an excellent fielding pitcher, handling 63 out of 64 total chances successfully for a fielding percentage of .984.
