After a rough loss at the hands of the Red Sox yesterday morning, the White Sox will look to bounce back and get back to .500 against Cleveland this evening. This will be a repeat of last Wednesday’s pitching matchup, as Carlos Rodon will look to follow up on his incredible no-hitter from his last outing against Zach Plesac and the Indians.

Starting Pitchers and Game Notes
Zach Plesac (1-2, 5.27 ERA) vs. Carlos Rodon (2-0, 0.00 ERA)
- Yermin Mercedes will get his first career major league start at 1B this evening.
- Carlos Rodon was named AL Player of the Week last week after throwing a no-hitter; he will look to become the first pitcher since Johnny Vander Meer in 1938 to throw two consecutive no-hitters.
Good win for the Sox under poor conditions in Cleveland.
I wonder if Grandal’s defensive miscues are going to be addressed before they have a more negative effect.It must be unnerving for a young guy like Crochet trying to do his work.
