The Cleveland Indians fell into an even deeper hole in the division after letting a 5-2 lead evaporate into a 6-5 defeat Tuesday night.
The losing pitcher on the night was Carlos Carrasco. Let’s talk about that.
Carrasco made his first appearance at home, and second appearance overall, since returning from his leukemia diagnosis earlier this season. It was obviously an emotional moment for Carrasco, the team, the fans, and everyone watching at home.
But he should not have been out there in that moment.
I want to make it clear that no one should be blaming Carrasco or throwing any hate his way.
