The San Francisco Giants were playing their own game, just down the steps from the home clubhouse at Oracle Park, but Carlos Rodón and some of his teammates stayed inside. Down the coast, Clayton Kershaw was working on a perfect game for the Los Angeles Dodgers. At least there was the possibility of history, and that was enough to intrigue Rodón, who had come so close to his own slice of it in 2021. That spoiled Rodón’s perfect game, but he was thrilled to settle for a no-hitter, one of 317 in major league history. “We were like, ‘We’re not even close.’ This is like the third longest, only 10 years.”
