9th time the charm!!

Thanks to 3 home runs and 7 RBI by Shin-Soo Choo and a single, and a double and 3 more RBI by Lou Marson, the Indians defeated the Royals 11-4 Friday night as Carlos Carrasco recorded his first major league win. Carlos gave up 3 runs on 8 hits over 6 innings, walking just 1 and striking out 6 in his 9th major league start over the last 2 Septembers. This year in 4 outings, Carrasco has posted an impressive 2.70 ERA in 26.2 big league frames and hopes to compete for a rotation spot in 2011. I think he will get 2, maybe 3, more starts this year for the Indians.

In Lakewood Friday night, Jeremy Barnes had a walk off single in the bottom of the 9th to give the Lakewood BlueClaws a 2-1 win in game 3 of the SAL Championship Series. The BlueClaws lead the best of 5 series, 2 games to 1, with game 4 Saturday at 4:05. Game 5, if necessary, will follow about 30 minutes later. With 1 win today, Lakewood would win back-to-back titles and 3 in the last 5 years.
