No Gohpers:

Jeff Weaver and Derek Lowe are the only two ERA title qualifiers that have not given up a HR. Weaver is pitching against the Indians tonight. This is a real improvement for him. He usually gives up about 1 HR per 9 IP. You can see it in his ERA this year, 2.92 coming into the game. Interestingly, he seems to be a first half pitcher, so this could just be another good start. Maybe with his thin frame, he tires late in the year. Look especially at his IP and HR allowed:
