Carlos Carrasco picked up his 2nd win tonight for Columbus. A much better start then his first outing despite what looks like a poor performance on paper.
His box looks worse then he actually pitched. He pitched 7 strong innings, probably should have been pulled, and ended up getting touched up pretty good in the 8th.
Through 7 innings, Carrasco had only allowed 2 hits, 1 run, 1 earned, 1 walk and had 5 strikeouts.
He got a little tired in the 8th and allowed a single, double, two groundouts, a walk, and a HR before he got yanked.
I was pretty impressed with him before the 8th inning.
Also, fellow new prospect Jason Donald with 1-3 with a HR and 4 R. LaPorta went 3-4 with 4 RBI. Michael Brantley was 2-4 with 3 R, 1 RBI, a his 38th stolen base of the season.
