Second Straight Big Day For the Offense as Indians Top Rays 8-7; Three Takeaways from the Win

1. Losing Carrasco

It was a short night for Indians starter Carlos Carrasco, lasing just 3.2 innings before being pulled due to tightness in his pec muscle.

After the game Terry Francona didn’t seem too concerned about the injury, nor did Carracso, but it has to have had Indians fans worried seeing Carrasco get pulled.

The pitcher, who had been dominant on the road, wasn’t nearly as good in the outing on Monday, allowing five runs in 3.2 innings of work.

Carrasco’s history of injuries has always been a key reason why many think he’s never been able to take the next step to being an elite pitcher.

Here’s hoping that the pec injury will feel a lot better Tuesday, and Carrasco will be able to make his next slated start which is in Houston over the weekend.
