CLEVELAND -- The A's welcomed Indians starter Carlos Carrasco off the disabled list with some authoritative power on Friday night.
Center fielder Dustin Fowler led the game off by sending a 2-1 fastball deep into the right-field stands to put the A's on the board. The homer marked Fowler's sixth of the season.
Carrasco also fell behind Matt Olson to lead off the second inning, resulting in the first baseman ripping a 434-foot shot to straightaway center, per Statcast™, for his 19th of the year, giving the A's a 2-0 lead.
