In a remarkable display of skill, Nick Lodolo, the Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher, made an impressive return to Major League Baseball by leading his team to a 5-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Lodolo, who had not pitched in the MLB since May 2023, showcased his prowess by pitching 5.2 innings, allowing just one hit and one walk, with no runs, and striking out 10 batters. This performance marked his first start of the 2024 MLB season. The Reds secured their victory by scoring all their runs in the second inning, with no further scoring from either team for the remainder of the game.
