Carrasco (14-6) tossed seven one-run innings to earn the win Sunday against the White Sox, allowing three hits with no walks and nine strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco was in top form in this one, throwing 70 percent of his pitches for strikes while limiting baserunners to great effect. He was touched up for a run on a hit, and error and a wild pitch in the first inning, be he settled down thereafter and remarkably retired the final 16 batters he faced. What's more, Carrasco needed just 90 pitches to cruise through seven frames and recorded his second contest with at least nine punchouts and no walks. He's now rattled off five consecutive quality starts, posting a sparkling 43:4 K:BB over that span. The right-hander will look to continue his recent success this weekend against the Orioles.

Carrasco (13-6) allowed three runs on 10 hits and one walk across 6.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Twins. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco flirted with danger all evening, but the only runs against him came via a three-run home run off the bat of Mitch Garver in the second inning. The 10 hits against were a season high for Carrasco, but he still managed to deliver his fourth straight quality start and ran his K:BB to a sparkling 34:4 in that span. He was perhaps thrown off his routine by a rain delay of over two hours, but he still logged 97 pitches. Carrasco had also won five straight decisions prior to this minor hiccup and will look to get back in the win column in his next scheduled start this weekend against the White Sox.

Carrasco picked up a win in relief Sunday during the Indians' 5-2 triumph over the Yankees. He tossed a perfect inning and struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco may have missed out on a two-start week, but that didn't prevent him from scooping up two wins. Manager Terry Fracona elected to make the right-hander available out of the bullpen on three days' rest for the Tribe's final game of the first half, and Carrasco shined as the setup man for closer Cody Allen. After Carrasco retired the side on 14 pitches, the Indians broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the bottom of the eighth to propel him to his 11th win. Carrasco is expected to slot back into the rotation following the All-Star break, with his first outing most likely coming during next weekend's series in Texas.

Carrasco (right elbow contusion) will make a rehab start for Double-A Akron on Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He threw another successful mound session Wednesday, and Cleveland decided the next step would be a rehab assignment.
