Cleveland first in Expansion Era to have three starters pitch 5 consecutive perfect innings

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is the first time in the Expansion Era (since 1961) that any team has had three consecutive starters complete at least five perfect innings. On Wednesday, (fellow starters) Cody Anderson and Danny Salazar were on the edge of their seats rooting and hoping for Carrasco to complete the job.

Carlos Carrasco came within one out of a no-hitter against Tampa July 1st.
