🤯 Chad Dallas Never Threw a Pitch in the Big Leagues. Then He Outdueled Chris Sale at Truist Park.

Chad Dallas had never thrown a pitch in the big leagues. Last night he walked into Truist Park and outdueled Chris Sale. 🤯⚾🔥

June 4 — Blue Jays 7, Braves 2. Truist Park.

Atlanta came in with the best record in baseball. 98% playoff odds. Chris Sale on the mound at 8-3 with a 2.01 ERA. The Blue Jays had lost four straight. Everything pointed one way.

Then Chad Dallas — recalled from Triple-A Buffalo that very morning — showed up and silenced the best lineup in baseball. 3.2 innings, 1 run, 2 hits. His first career win in his MLB debut. Remarkable.

Myles Straw Sets the Tone

The three-run third inning was the burst the Blue Jays needed. Straw singled in two runs, McAdoo added another. Up 3-1. They never looked back.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 3-for-5 with a double and 2 runs scored. Ernie Clement also 3-for-5. The Blue Jays piled up 16 hits — making Sale look ordinary on a night when he had no business looking ordinary.

The Sale Problem

Sale surrendered a season-high 10 hits in 5.2 innings. When Reynaldo López came in, Heineman doubled in two more runs to put it away. Atlanta's ace wasn't sharp — and the Blue Jays made him pay.

You Can't Script That

The Blue Jays snapped a four-game losing streak. In Atlanta. With a debutant starter who got called up that same morning. On a night when Chris Sale took the mound for the best team in baseball.

This is why you watch baseball.

Is Toronto quietly building something dangerous? 👀
