CLEVELAND -- Carlos Carrasco managed to laugh as he stood on the mound, being examined by one of the Indians' athletic trainers. The Tribe pitcher has seemingly become a magnet for comebackers, but this one was nothing more than a scare.
The ball that Ehire Adrianza sent sharply up the middle in the fifth inning on Tuesday night knocked Carrasco to the dirt, but merely nicked his glove. The big righty shook it off, took his place back on the rubber and continued his overpowering outing in an 8-1 victory over the Twins at Progressive Field.
