Nothing works in Indians’ 8-1 loss to Royals

I respect you too much to lead this recap off with “Cookie crumbled,” so instead I’ll phrase it differently:

Carlos Carrasco topped out at 92 miles per hour and that’s not great.

Maybe Carrasco could have gotten away with lower velocity if he was locating pitches well (probably not, but maybe). Unfortunately, he wasn’t. His first-inning pitch chart is absolutely hideous and features four balls hit over 100 miles per hour right over the middle of the plate. In the first inning! At least it made a smiley face.
