Carlos Rodon will make his first Major League start on Saturday when the Chicago White Sox face off against the Cincinnati Reds.

Rodon, Chicago's first pick in last June's draft, has worked out of the bullpen three times. In 6 1/3 innings, he has allowed nine hits and two runs with four walks and four strikeouts. He has a 2.84 ERA.

"It should be fun," Rodon said. "I don't think anything really changes. Pitching is pitching no matter what role it is. You must pour it in the zone, so we prepare the same way. There is nothing different."
