Last night former NC State pitcher Carlos Rodon finished the 2016 baseball season with flare. He tied an American League record, striking out the first 7 batters of the game (Joe Cowley, 1986).
Rodon had gone all season with out producing a single double-digit strikeout performance, and he finished the season with two consecutive double-digit performances.
His final line in his win over the Twins: 6 innings pitched, 2 earned runs, 10 strikeouts.
Rodon finished the 2016 season with a 9-10 record for the White Sox, posting a 4.04 ERA, and striking out 168 batters.
