Zach Plesac failed to escape the first inning, allowing a three-run Yermin Mercedes homer along with three additional tallies. Meanwhile, Carlos Rodon was methodically cutting down the Indians inning after inning. Through his first twenty-five batters faced he had six strikeouts and nothing else on his pitching line. But on a 1-2 count he grazed Roberto Perez with a backfoot slider. He fanned Yu Chang and got Jordan Luplow to ground to third to complete the no-hitter, but he had come oh so close to the majors’ first perfect game in nine seasons.
