UPCOMING SCHEDULE July 2017, hanging on to 1st place
-
A pair of right-handers face off in the first game back from the All-Star break, as Oakland's Sonny Gray takes on Cleveland's Carlos Carrasco at Oakland Coliseum on Friday.
Carrasco is putting together yet another steady season, as he'll begin the second half with a 10-3 record and a 3.44 ERA. He has seen another uptick in his curveball usage, throwing it 17 percent of the time in 2017 after utilizing it 14.9 percent of the time in 2016. He threw it just 7.9 percent in 2015.
Carrasco has been stronger on the road this season than he has been at home. In nine road starts, the Indians righty is 7-1 with a 2.38 ERA and has only allowed two home runs. At home, he is 3-2 with a 4.69 ERA and 10 homers allowed.
Gray has been solid since he gave up seven earned runs over 4 2/3 innings at Cleveland on May 30, posting a 3.45 ERA in his last seven starts since.
The 27-year-old right-hander is coming off a winning effort against the White Sox in which he allowed two runs on three hits and struck out five in seven quality innings.
Things to know about this game
β’ Gray is making his seventh career start against the Indians. He is 2-2 with a 4.00 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 36 career innings vs. Cleveland.
β’ Gray may shutter whenever Michael Brantley steps in the batter's box. The All-Star left fielder is hitting .429 in 15 career plate appearances against Gray in his career.
β’ Opposing teams shouldn't expect much scoring in third inning off Carrasco, his splits indicate. He has only surrendered one run in the third inning all season.
