Indians starter Carlos Carrasco came off a suspension and pitched extremely well Monday at home against Kansas City. He dramatically lowered his ERA in the process.
Carrasco took a no-decision as he allowed just one earned run on four hits and a walk over 7 1/3 solid innings. He threw just 90 pitches before being removed from the game after four strikeouts.
Unfortunately, James Shields was just as good and both pitchers left with the score tied at one run apiece. Carrasco lowered his ERA from 15.26 to 8.40 with the outing.
After having allowed 13 runs over his first two starts spanning 7 2/3 innings, Carrasco was much improved Monday. He'll look to keep improving in his next start scheduled for Sunday against Minnesota.
