Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco is one of two men remaining in the battle for the fifth rotation spot, but he didn't help his cause Thursday, giving up four earned runs in five innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three batters without issuing a walk.
Carrascos' ERA is up to 6.00 in 18 spring innings. He is clearly behind Scott Kazmir based on spring performance. We'll see if the final decision matches the statistics.
