Well, it was already a successful game, based on the bats coming out like they did in the first inning after getting shut out on Tuesday. But things got better; did you hear, Carlos Rodón threw a no-hitter!
Brett Ballantini, Joe Resis and Chrystal O’Keefe abandoned the “let’s talk about the night in baseball” format due to the celebration of specialness that was Rodón’s no-hitter (and near perfecto).
Highlights:
Do we blame Roberto Pérez for the cheesy HBP that ruined the perfect game in the ninth?
Only four big xBA hits from Cleveland — and three of them came in the last third of the game
Unsung MVP of the game? No, not Zack Collins, but Andrew Vaughn, for not turning anything routine into a hit or a controversial error
Better game score, Lucas’s 2020 no-hitter or Carlos tonight?
How hard did we cringe when Mercedes came barreling out of the dugout after the final out?
