CLEVELAND -- The A's welcomed Indians starter Carlos Carrasco off the disabled list with some authoritative power on Friday night.
But two early home runs from Dustin Fowler and Matt Olson weren't enough to build the necessary momentum to halt a hot Indians offense. Additionally, a subpar start from Paul Blackburn erased any chances of a victory, as the A's fell to the Tribe, 10-4, at Progressive Field.
The loss snaps a two-game win streak for the A's (48-40), who remain third in the American League West.
