Indians Mount Comeback in Ninth, Inch Closer to Central Title with 4-3 Walk Off Win over Pirates

By Brendan Ward

The Cleveland Indians sat two back for the American League Central division title with three to play, as they sent Carlos Carrasco to start on the mound Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Carrasco went six full, allowing three hits, but surrendered two runs to trail at the end of his outing. Ninth inning heroics would come once again however, as the Indians combined to score three in the inning, walking it off with a César Hernández single to win 4-3 over the Pirates.

Carrasco led the game off surrendering a walk to Adam Frazier, before forcing Ke’Bryan Hayes to ground into a force of Frazier at second for the first out of the inning.
