Best Reactions To Carlos Rodon’s Heartwarming No-Hitter

Awesemo's team of daily fantasy baseball experts give you the first look at the day's MLB slate & give MLB DFS picks for DraftKings + FanDuel.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodon was oh so close to twirling a perfect game at Guaranteed Rate Field tonight. The left-hander recorded 25-straight outs before hitting a batter in the foot on a two-strike offering with two outs to go in the game.

Nevertheless, Rodon would still get the next two batters, and complete the no-hitter. For a guy who has battled back from long injuries in each of the past two seasons, signed a short one-year deal with the White Sox in the offseason, and earned a spot in their rotation, that’s still pretty good. The team was fired up after Rodon completed the no-no.

After the game, Rodon was asked if he planned on giving the ball to the Hall-of-Fame (the customary procedure after throwing a no-hitter).

The baseball world was buzzing, commending Carlos Rodon for enduring so much en route to his magical night.

After the game, Rodon went back onto the field with catcher Zack Collins to share one last special moment on the mound.

Carlos Rodon has been through so much since being drafted third overall by the White Sox in 2014. He has earned this moment. Take it all in, Carlos. Tonight is your night.
