Carrasco (11-7) pitched 7.1 innings, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five Astros in Wednesday's win.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco worked around some early trouble that were apparently caused by some insect issues on the mound. Immediately after a bug appeared to fly in his eye during the fourth, Carrasco surrendered a leadoff single to Yulieski Gurriel and a first-pitch, two-run homer to Colby Rasmus. Carrasco settled in, however, and took advantage of solid run support to earn his 11th win of the year. The 29-year-old righty has surrendered a career-high 20 home runs this season, but he also managed a 3.15 ERA and 1.11 WHIP -- both of which are well below his career averages -- through 23 starts. He'll make his next start Monday against the White Sox.
