Carlos Rodon started for the Chicago White Sox and showed arm strength but didn't have much command on Monday, especially not in the first inning. Rodon hit 91-95 mph, sitting mostly 92-93, with some life, but his slider at 85-87 was inconsistent in every aspect -- he hung a few, had a couple back up on him, and couldn't locate it at all, getting just two swings-and-misses on it over three innings.

Rodon's delivery isn't conducive to great command, with a short stride and hard finish along with some head violence, but his pure stuff has always been so good that he could get away with failing to locate perfectly. Monday's outing had to give the White Sox some consternation about how effective he can be with his delivery as it stands right now
