The White Sox bullpen was stirring 15 minutes after Carlos Rodon's first pitch Monday at U.S. Cellular Field. Only 25 minutes into the game, Jake Petricka relieved Rodon, who was booed off the field after recording one out against the Angels.
In the shortest non-injury-related outing by a Sox starting pitcher since 2003, Rodon allowed five earned runs on six hits and two walks in a 7-0 loss.
Neal Cotts was the last Sox starter to pitch only one-third of an inning, Aug. 28, 2003, against the Yankees.
Rodon had been strong in his first two starts, allowing two earned runs in 13 innings against the A's and Twins.
