Take a bow, Carlos Rodón.
From all the injuries and being non-tendered, Rodón rose up and made history on Wednesday. The former third overall pick pitched the 20th no-hitter in Chicago White Sox history in an 8-0 win over Cleveland. Let’s get to what made him special.
Also, a tip of the cap to Zack Collins, who caught just his 15th career game.
The Starters
Arguably most impressive about Rodón’s performance was how he got stronger as the no-hitter progressed. He limited Cleveland to two of its seven hard-hit balls in the final three innings, while his velocity increased in the ninth inning.
