David Dahl made his major league debut on Monday night against the Baltimore Orioles and singled in his third at bat for his first major league hit.
Batting sixth in the lineup, he struck out in his first at bat swinging at a 86.5 MPH slider. Then in his second at bat, he ran the count to full, before succumbing to an 89.8 MPH 4-seam fastball for his second punch out. But then in his third at bat, he struck gold, by singling up the middle on a 3-2 count, off of an 88.5 MPH slider.
Playing the whole game, the top prospect grounded out in his final at bat of the night finishing 1 for 4, with a run scored.
