UNDATED (AP) – Carlos Rodon has thrown the second no-hitter of the major league season, and second in five days. Rodon was two out from a perfect game before settling for a no-no in the White Sox’s 8-0 thrashing of the Indians. Perfection ended when he hit Roberto Perez on the foot with a pitch. Rodon recovered to fan Yu Chang before retiring Jordan Luplow on a grounder to third. The Chicago hurler pitched most of the night with a huge lead as Yermin Mercedes belted a three-run homer in a six-run first. Indians starter Zach Plesac was yanked after two-thirds of an inning, charged with six runs and seven hits.
