By TC Zencka | April 14, 2021 at 10:00pm CDT Carlos Rodon was perfect through 8 1/3 innings tonight against the Indians.

That said, players who were wearing No. 42 at the time were grandfathered in, meaning they could choose to continue wearing it until they retired. Thus, some teams have had a player
For three games at Minute Maid Park, the Detroit Tigers looked like a different team — and a much better team. After getting swept by Cleveland and falling into a four-game losing streak, manager AJ Hinch asked his players to respond. They most definitely got his message. The Tigers (6-6) swept the Houston Astros on

Wednesday was nearly a perfect night to be a White Sox fan. While Carlos Rodón fell just short of perfection, he still made history with his 114-pitch (75 strikes) no-hitter in a 8-0 win over the Indians. Rodón was obviously the story of the night — not only in Chicago, but across all of baseball
Detroit has completed their bounce-back from a miserable series versus Cleveland by sweeping the Astros in their own ballpark. Tigers win, 6-4.

Houston — Numbers don’t necessarily lie, but they can misdirect you from the truth sometimes. The metrics from Tarik Skubal’s last start against the Indians were somewhat alarming, as was his performance. The average velocity on his fastball, which stayed in the 95-96 mph range last year and through spring training dropped to 93.5 and the
