1998
The Blue Jays called Halladay up from Syracuse at the end of the season, and he made his major league debut on September 20, 1998, allowing two runs on eight hits while striking out five batters in five innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. His second major league start came a week later, on September 27; Chris Carpenter had originally been scheduled to start, but as Toronto had already been eliminated from playoff contention, manager Tim Johnson and pitching coach Mel Queen decided to give Halladay the start instead.[17] While facing down the Detroit Tigers, Halladay came within one out of pitching a no-hitter before pinch hitter Bobby Higginson hit a solo home run with two outs in the ninth inning. Prior to the run, the only base runner that Toronto allowed was Tony Clark, who reached on a fifth-inning error from second baseman Felipe Crespo. Halladay earned his first major-league win in the 2–1 season finale.[18]
