Carlos Carrasco cruises past Blue Jays in dominant outing
by Chris Schommer | Guardians Correspondent | Sat, Jun 22nd 5:54am EDT
Carlos Carrasco turned in a stellar performance on Friday, limiting the Blue Jays to just one earned run on four hits over six innings, striking out seven without issuing a walk, as the Guardians rolled to a 7-1 victory.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given Carrasco's rocky season stats, which include a bloated 5.40 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP this season. His ability to avoid walks and efficiently handle Toronto's lineup could hint at a turning point, but his season-long inconsistencies suggest caution. Carrasco's improved strikeout-to-walk ratio and the low BABIP in this game are promising, yet his overall performance this season might temper expectations for a complete turnaround. Keep an eye on his next few starts to see if this performance is a new trend or just a one-off.
