00:00Hi everyone, I'm Matt Lodi for Cleveland Baseball Insider here on SI.com.
00:05Thursday night, the Indians played yet another inter-squad scrimmage here at
00:08Progressive Field, and it was the home team coming away with a 6-3 victory.
00:11Some observations from this one, Carlos Carrasco got the start.
00:15The Tribe number three starter ended up going five innings.
00:17He'll pitch six innings in his final start before the regular season on the 21st.
00:22Carrasco allowed three runs on six hits.
00:24He did strike out five batters, and he certainly looks like he is getting ready
00:27for the start of the season.
00:29Carl Willis, Indians pitching coach, said that he felt that the breaking pitches
00:32for Carrasco were very good tonight.
00:34Logan Allen pitched for the visiting team, and he also looked good.
00:37Allen's going to be one of the guys out of the bullpen this year.
00:39He went four innings.
00:41He did allow a two-run home run to Bradley Zimmer, who continues to stay hot.
00:44Zimmer now has three home runs in his last two games, including four in the last
00:49four days, so Zimmer fighting for one of those outfield spots.
00:52Some other highlights included Greg Allen going deep.
00:54He made it 6-3 in the sixth and final inning with a two-run home run,
00:58and also Domingo Santana, good to see him get off the side.
01:01He had a grand slam the other night, and he had two hits in the effort
01:04on Thursday night.
01:06Again, 6-3, the home team gets the victory for the Tribe.
01:08They'll play the Pirates coming up on Saturday night at PNC Park, and then
01:12they'll be back here at Progressive Field on Monday for another game against Pittsburgh
01:15before wrapping that series up on Wednesday again back in PNC Park,
01:19and then they'll start the regular season for real a week from Friday when they take
01:23on the Kansas City Royals, and Shane Bieber will be on the hill for the Tribe.
