At the beginning of the year, there was nothing more frustrating to me than the Indians’ pitching. Prior to the season I had high expectations, and I knew that they were better than what we saw in April and early May. Tonight’s game against the Royals is a good example of the Indians pitching staff I thought we would see this year. Carlos Carrasco was brilliant; he gave up just 1 ER on 5 hits in 7 IP, walking two and striking out eight. There were times where he flirted with trouble, but he always managed to escape unscathed (outside of the third inning, where two singles and a wild pitch led to a run scored for Kansas City).
Good Pitching, a Bit of Luck, Propels the Indians to a 2-1 Win
