The Indians didn’t do the best job of taking advantage of scoring opportunities, but they did enough to support starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco in a 3-2 win Tuesday night.
Much of it was thanks to Mariners (5-8) starter Wade Miley (0-2) and his sudden loss of the strike zone in the fourth inning. With the Indians (6-5) already leading 1-0, Miley, who didn’t walk a single batter in his first two starts this season, allowed a single to Marlon Byrd and then walked Juan Uribe and Collin Cowgill—the No. 8 and No. 9 hitters in the lineup—to load the bases with one out.
