Well, Corey Kluber Day wasn’t its usual festive self yesterday. But Carlos Carrasco Day is usually a pretty good day too. Going back to the beginning of the 2017 season (and conveniently ignoring the 2017 postseason), the Indians are 32-14 on days when Carrasco starts the game, and today is such a day. He’ll face the Twins and Fernando Romero, a righty and a rookie who has never taken the hill against the Indians. He enters today’s game with an ERA of 3.92.
Due to time constraints on my part (I’m attending today’s game and I want to get there early enough to claim my Andrew Miller bobblehead), this game thread is a short one. Thanks to Baseball Press for today’s starting lineups:
