Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco surrendered one earned run on three hits and one walk in two innings while striking out one in Monday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

"[He was] good," manager Terry Francona told MLB.com. "A couple hitters he fell behind and that’s where, when he works ahead, his stuff is [good]. Like today, his first inning was electric. He’s got the breaking ball and the changeup to go with it. He just needs to keep pumping it to where he works ahead. That’s where he’s going to have success."

Carrasco is competing for a spot at the back end of the team's rotation.
