CLEVELAND -- Carlos Carrasco pitched well enough to win. He also worked long enough to save the Indians' bullpen from extended duty.
The right-hander struck out seven over eight innings Friday, but allowed two home runs that were the difference as the Mariners beat the Indians, 3-1. Robinson Cano's two-run homer in the fourth and Ben Gamel's solo shot in the sixth were the only blemishes in Carrasco's 106-pitch outing at Progressive Field.
He did not issue a walk and limited Seattle to six hits.
"That's what we want to do, to go deep in games and try to put some zeros on the board," he said.
