For the third straight game, an Indians starting pitcher threw a complete game, this one in a 3-1 road win against the Oakland A’s.
Thursday night was Carlos Carrasco’s turn, as he allowed only two hits and one run while striking out seven. Carrasco (11-8) didn’t allow a hit after the first inning and retired the final 16 hitters in a row.
It marked the first time since 1994 that the Indians (47-54) had three straight complete games (Mark Clark, Jack Morris, Charles Nagy), per Fox Sports. Prior to Thursday, Trevor Bauer (2-1 loss to Royals) and Corey Kluber (12-1 win) also threw complete games.
