Yesterday there were two brushes with perfection. Carlos Rodon with the White Sox pitched perfectly into the ninth. A pitch down and in went a little too far down and in and hit the batter on the top of his shoe. In the end, Rodon still finished his no-hitter facing only 28 batters.
On the other side of the globe, Brock Dykxhoorn, formerly of Team Canada, lost his bid for perfection in the third inning of CPBL's Uni-Lions game by surrendering a single to a player who was quickly "assassinated" (as Google translate calls it) on the following double play. He faced the minimum 27 batters.
What a great day for both pitchers and the defense behind them.
LOL!
