Carrasco (11-4) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco dominated the Marlins, allowing only one extra-base hit and preventing any runners from reaching third base en route to his 100th career victory. The veteran hurler was efficient, throwing 63 of 93 pitches for strikes in his second-longest outing of the campaign. Carrasco went through a rough patch in June but has turned things around dramatically in July, posting a 0.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB over 30 innings while compiling a 3-0 record. He's held his opponent scoreless in each of his past three starts and hasn't allowed any runs across his past 18.2 frames.

Carrasco allowed six hits and two walks with one strikeout in five innings, taking a no-decision in Sunday's win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco battled with Joe Musgrove, trading zeroes on the scoreboard for five frames. In four starts in July, Carrasco has given up three runs, 24 hits and seven walks with 20 strikeouts in 22.1 innings. While he was inefficient in throwing only 55 of 92 pitches for strikes, it was still a serviceable performance. The 35-year-old right-hander now has a 4.07 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 101:28 K:BB through 104 innings in 19 starts. He's tentatively lined up for a road start in Miami next weekend.

Carrasco (10-4) allowed five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six shutout innings to earn the win Thursday over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets took the lead in the first inning, and Carrasco's strong pitching kept the Cubs from keeping up. This was the right-hander's first quality start since June 17, though he fell one out short in his first two games in July. Thursday marked the fourth time he's kept runs off the board in 18 starts overall, and Carrasco finished the first half of the season with a 4.27 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 100:26 K:BB across 99 innings.

Carrasco did not factor in the decision against Miami on Saturday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't an easy outing for Carrasco -- he gave up seven hits (including three that went for extra bases) and retired the side in order in only one frame -- but he was able to keep Miami off the scoreboard through five innings. However, the Marlins finally got to him in the sixth when four straight hitters reached base with one out, leading to the veteran hurler's removal. Carrasco ended up being charged for two total runs, but he emerged with a no-decision. After struggling mightily in his final two starts in June, Carrasco has allowed just three earned runs over 11.1 frames while striking out 13 batters over his first two appearances in July.

Carrasco (9-4) gave up one earned run on six hits and a walk while striking out eight over 5.2 innings to earn the win in a 4-1 victory over the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco's effective start on 102 pitches was enough to earn him his ninth win of the year, which is tied for second best in the majors. Playing for the Mets has certainly helped Carrasco's case this season, as his 4.64 ERA and 1.33 WHIP are nothing to write home about. He had come into the game going through a rough patch, having given up 19 earned runs over his previous four starts. The 35-year-old veteran will look for continued offensive support to pick up his 10th win of the year his next time out against Miami.

Carrasco (8-4) took the loss Tuesday against Houston, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four in 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Houston got off to a great start against Carrasco, scoring four times in the first inning with the big blow being Kyle Tucker's three-run blast. He allowed a baserunner in both the second and third but was able to induce inning-ending double-plays both times. The Astros tacked on another run in the fourth and, after allowing a one-out single in the fifth, Carrasco was removed. It has been a rough couple of weeks for the 35-year-old as he's allowed 19 runs and seven homers in 17.2 innings over his last four starts.

The Mets list Carrasco (back) as their starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Astros in New York, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco's inclusion on the pitching schedule for the two-game set against Houston suggests he was able to throw a bullpen session over the weekend without incident. The right-hander exited his most recent start Wednesday -- also against the Astros, but in Houston -- due to lower-back tightness, but an MRI didn't reveal anything too concerning. Carrasco shouldn't face any major restrictions with his workload when he returns to the mound Tuesday.

Manager Buck Showalter said Friday that Carrasco (back) will likely make his next turn through the rotation, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco exited Wednesday's start against Houston due to lower-back tightness, but Showalter didn't sound concerned about the issue Friday. The right-hander will presumably be monitored in the coming days, but he lines up to make his next start at home against the Astros early next week as long as he's cleared to pitch.

Carrasco is scheduled to undergo an MRI after leaving Wednesday's start against the Astros with lower-back tightness, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander lasted only 2.1 frames before being lifted from Wednesday's contest, and his availability going forward is now in question. It's an encouraging sign Carrasco will travel with the team to Miami rather than return to New York to be evaluated, but his outlook will remain up in the air until the MRI results are announced.

Carrasco exited Wednesday's start against the Astros due to lower-back tightness, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was removed from Wednesday's matchup by a trainer and manager Buck Showalter, and the right-hander is dealing with a lower-back issue. It's not yet clear whether the injury will lead to a trip to the IL, but he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Astros next Wednesday if he's deemed healthy enough to pitch.
