The Indians' bats back Carlos Carrasco over the A's

Carlos Carrasco returned from the DL and the Cleveland Indians' lineup unrolled the welcome mat in a 10-4 blowout win over the Oakland A's.

Carrasco didn't have the most encouraging start to the game, allowing a leadoff home run to Dustin Fowler in the first inning. Matt Olson followed with a solo homer of his own in the second, opening up a a 2-0 lead for the A's.

It was a bit of a slog from there, but Cookie lasted 5.1 innings, allowing seven hits and three earned runs and striking out seven to cap a solid return to the mound.
