For the first time since being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in the offseason, Roy Halladay took the mound against his former team, the Toronto Blue Jays. It was Halladay's first appearance in Toronto as a member of the opposing team. To mark the occasion, the Blue Jays decided to make it easier for Halladay by playing the home game in Philadelphia, allegedly because of the G20 Summit (yeah, like that's a real thing!)
The Blue Jays also made it easier on Halladay by barely swinging the bat, getting only 6 base hits in Halladay's 7 innings. Jays CF Vernon Wells: "We really wanted to do all we could to make this a pleasant experience for Doc. He's just been such an important part of this organization for so long."
