CHICAGO – Chicago White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodón has a perfect game after eight innings against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night.
Working quickly in short sleeves with the top of his jersey partially unbuttoned on a cool night in Chicago, Rodón has thrown 61 of his 95 pitches for strikes.
He has six strikeouts. The crowd of 7,148 cheered loudly when José Ramírez lined to left on a 3-1 pitch for the final out of the seventh.
There were more cheers after Amed Rosario struck out swinging for the final out of the eighth. The gametime temperature was 45 degrees, and most of the other players had on long sleeves.
