Although this moment robbed Rodón of a perfect game, he earned himself a no-hitter in a moment of redemption and eminence. A moment of panic struck when Rodón hit Roberto Pérez on the foot with one out left.

But this was the game that changed everything.Īs the game continued perfect for Carlos, by the sixth inning the crowd seemed to be holding its collective breath. Rodón was not yet the Rodón we have come to know, in just his second start of the season. The Sox faced a formidable foe, the Cleveland Baseball Team, with Carlos Rodón and Shane Bieber on the mound, and going in, I thought the White Sox would more than likely lose this game. I was not the only one feeling this, as the electricity in the air at Guaranteed Rate Field was palpable. I was experiencing catharsis from being at my first sports event since pre-COVID, combined with hope for the 2021 roster. On this night, I was able to attend my first White Sox game in two-and-a-half years. Stay tuned: There are three more celebrations to come.Īpril 14: White Sox 8, Cleveland 0 (Carlos Rodón no-hitter) With Grievances Aired at season’s end, then Feats of Strength last week, it is time for phase three of our South Side Soxivus celebration: Games of the Year.
