Carrasco pitched eight innings (for the second straight outing), allowing three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out seven Mariners in Friday's loss.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco pitched well enough to win, but he also allowed two home runs that were the difference as the Mariners took the victory 3-1. The 30-year-old has pitched into the sixth inning in all five of his starts this season, walking no more than one batter in three of them. Despite those impressive numbers, Carrasco has a 2-2 record because the Indians have only scored 12 runs with him on the mound. All in all, he looks like the right-hander we saw last season when his 3.32 ERA ranked 10th in the AL before he suffered a season-ending broken right hand. Carrasco will make his next start Wednesday against Detroit.
