"Both Weaver and Halladay have pitched once in Chase Field during their careers and each allowed three runs in six innings in getting the win. Halladay has pitched in five All-Star games, but hasn’t been very good, with an 8.10 ERA and 1.95 WHIP. Weaver was selected to last year’s Midsummer Classic, but did not pitch."
