Left-hander Carlos Rodon pitched the 20th no-hitter in Chicago White Sox franchise history on Wednesday, striking out seven and allowing one hit batsman to defeat the visiting Cleveland Indians 8-0.
Rodon (2-0) retired 27 of the 28 batters he faced, including the first 25. He lost his bid for the fourth perfect game in franchise history with one out in the ninth, hitting Cleveland s Roberto Perez on the foot with a 1-2 slider.
The next batter, Yu Chang, was called out on strikes, and Jordan Luplow bounced out to third baseman Yoan Moncada to end the game.
White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu preserved the milestone one batter before Perez reached base. Abreu lunged with his foot to touch the bag and record an unassisted putout as a sliding Josh Naylor tried to beat out a grounder down the line.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Brandon Crawford has a bit of a cult following on his own team: that hair, others envy it. His swing is coveted, too.
Crawford delivered the decisive hit for a second straight day, connecting for a three-run homer in the sixth inning as the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 on Saturday.
Crawford also came through with a bases-loaded, two-run double in the seventh of a 3-1 win in Friday’s home opener.
Starting pitcher Logan Webb used to try to grow out his hair to resemble Crawford’s signature shaggy locks.
“I’ve done it a couple times, it doesn’t look as good as his,” Webb said.
