Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco returned to the rotation Wednesday afternoon for a start at Minnesota. The Twins didn't have much trouble as they teed off against the Cleveland starter for 10 hits over just 4 1/3 innings.
Carrasco surrendered four earned runs and the Cleveland bullpen wasn't much better. The starter avoided taking the loss as neither bullpen was very good in a high-scoring ballgame. Carrasco took the no-decision as he remains winless at 0-4 on the year. Carrasco didn't walk a batter and struck out four over 71 pitches in his first appearance as a starter since July 6.
Carrasco, who has a 7.82 ERA on the season, gave up just one hit over five shutout innings in relief in his last time out on Aug. 9 against the Angels. It was a different story as a starter and it has been all season.
Carrasco replaced Scott Kazmir in the rotation but may not get another start. He currently doesn't have his next start scheduled. If he does get another start, it would likely come in the series at Anaheim.
