Rodón nearly had a perfect game
Carlos Rodón officially has joined the no-hitter club.
The Chicago White Sox starter collected the second no-no of the 2021 Major League Baseball season Wednesday night against the Cleveland Indians at Guaranteed Rate Field. He had seven strikeouts and no walks, but hit a Roberto Perez with a pitch in the ninth inning, ending his chance at a perfect game.

What a performance it was, too.
