Carrasco went five innings Thursday against the Royals, in which he allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk while fanning two. He only threw 78 pitches.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco's first start off the disabled list came with a short leash, as he didn't top the 80-pitch mark, and it also saw him allow a season-high total on hits with nine. Carrasco, however, limited the damage to only three runs, and even though his ERA rose to a very respectable 3.00 mark, he looked very good considering he hadn't pitched since April 24. He will look to do a better job in his next start against Seattle on the road Tuesday.
