Chicago White Sox southpaw Carlos Rodon, a 2014 first round draft pick whose career has been plagued by shoulder injuries and Tommy John surgery, has no-hit the Cleveland Indians. Rodon, 28, came within two outs of a perfect game but hit Tribe catcher Roberto Perez on the heel with a slider. Undeterred, Rodon retired the final two batters earning his no-hitter and giving the Chisox an 8-0 victory.
The North Carolina raised Rodon's no-hitter comes only five days after Joe Musgrove threw the first no-hitter in San Diego Padres history.
We are scarcely a fortnight into the 2021 MLB season and there have already been two no-hitters. Will there be more? Or will this be it? Whatever the case might be, Carlos Rodon will never forget this day as long as he lives.
