Blue Jays Rookie Dallas Says 'a Little God Wink' Set Stage for Beating Braves in Major League Debut
Dallas allowed two hits and one run in 3 2/3 innings as Toronto beat Atlanta 7-2, earning a win in his major league debut.
- Toronto Blue Jays rookie Chad Dallas earned his first win on Thursday night, allowing two hits and one run in 3 2/3 innings in a 7-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
- The promotion came Tuesday on Lou Gehrig Day, marking one year since Dallas's father, Tony, died from ALS. Dallas called it a 'God wink,' a spiritual alignment he found deeply meaningful.
- Summoned in the second inning with a runner on third, Dallas struck out Sandy to strand the runner. Manager John Schneider said the high-pressure situation helped settle the rookie's nerves.
- Friends and family from Orange, Texas, and Knoxville, Tennessee, witnessed the debut. Dallas described the experience as 'amazing,' saying he felt 'tons of emotions' throughout.
- Dallas, who missed the 2025 season following Tommy John surgery, impressed manager Schneider with his performance. The right-hander is positioned to help the Blue Jays as a bulk reliever moving forward.
