Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco tossed five scoreless innings in his return to the rotation Sunday, leading Cleveland to a 4-1 win against the Yankees. He allowed two hits and no walks, while striking out four.
Carrasco (4-4) allowed just two singles and retired the last 11 batters he faced. He made his first start Sunday since being banished to the bullpen in late April. He had gone 0-12 in his previous 17 starts since 2011, according to The Associated Press.
''When you play the Yankees, you feel it in your body,'' Carrasco said. ''You want to throw a shutout.''
The Indians have two off days this week, which means Carrasco might be skipped in the rotation.
