CLEVELAND — Carlos Carrasco, the Cleveland Indians’ No. 2 starting pitcher, broke his right hand when hit by a line drive off the bat of Detroit’s Ian Kinsler on the second pitch of Saturday’s 1-0, 10-inning win over the Tigers.

Cleveland, which opened an eight-game lead over second-place Detroit, said Carrasco sustained a non-displaced fracture of his pitching hand. The Indians did not provide a timetable for his recovery.

Jose Ramirez hit a winning single with the bases loaded in the 10th against Justin Wilson (4-5).

Tigers starter Justin Verlander allowed one hit in seven innings – Kipnis’ leadoff single in the sixth.

RAYS 5, ORIOLES 2: Evan Longoria homered, tripled and scored three runs to help Tampa Bay win at Baltimore, blunting the Orioles’ playoff push.

The Orioles have lost two of three to the last-place Rays in a series that ends Sunday. Longoria has homered in each of the three games and has a career-high 35 for the season.
