Not many have had quite the same redemption story as Carlos Rodón has for the Chicago White Sox, who pitched a no-hitter for the White Sox in an 8-0 shutout victory against Cleveland on Wednesday.
Rodón, who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 draft, made his major league debut nearly a year later in April 2015. He threw 2 1⁄3 innings, allowing two runs, walking three and striking out one — ironically, now, against the same Cleveland franchise he no-hit last week.
That first game was a relief appearance, and Rodón would make two more relief appearances before eventually joining the rotation in 2015.
