CLEVELAND, Ohio - Six things we learned Friday before, during and after the Indians' 4-2 win over the Cubs at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz.
1. Now that's encouraging.
Just when Carlos Carrasco will make his first regular season start is still unknown, but he had to calm a lot of nerves in the Indians' hierarchy on Friday with his performance against the Cubs.
Carrasco pitched three scoreless innings against the World Series champs, striking out two and allowing one hit. The last time he took the mound in a Cactus League game was March 13 when he allowed eight runs on eight hits in one inning against the White Sox.
