[ASFN Admin]

Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco was struck in the face by a line drive in the first inning and Chicago's Jose Quintana pitched six strong innings, leading the White Sox to a 4-1 win on Tuesday night. Carrasco was carted off the field after Melky Cabrera - the second hitter - rocketed a shot up the middle that slammed the right side of the right-hander's face. Carrasco (1-1) was lucky to get a piece of his glove on the ball before it smashed him. The Indians said X-rays of Carrasco, the club's No. 2 starter, were negative and he was being treated at Lutheran Hospital for a bruised jaw.
