Carlos Carrasco battled, but there are only so many things one pitcher can overcome, including himself.
Bad defense, a star-studded lineup that refused to miss the damn ball, and his own pitches betraying him were just a few of the things that thwarted Cookie against the Boston Red Sox. A Red Sox team, mind you, that still trails the Cleveland Indians in this series, 2-1. I choose to look at the positives. Like the fact that the Indians can’t technically lose this series, or that Rajai Davis no longer has to buy hemorrhoid cream in secrecy.
