Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco allowed three earned runs on nine hits in six innings while striking out five and walking none in his team's 8-3 win over the Reds Monday.

Carrasco is one of two candidates remaining for the final spot in the team's regular-season rotation, and his performance Monday will likely strengthen his case. He owns a 5.17 ERA and 16:3 K:BB ratio in 15 2/3 innings.
