Carrasco vs. Banuelos? For the third time, with the Indians romping the first two? Bound to be a laugher. After all, Carlos Carrasco has completely owned the Sox for a long, long time and Manny Banuelos has pretty much served up batting practice for the Indians so far this year.
And laugher it was. Only the Sox get to do the chortling.
Carrasco didn’t have it tonight. Sliders just played dreidel and sat there spinning, fastballs got too much of the plate. His problems started in the second, when Yonder Alonso, .172 average and all, led off with a double over first.
