CLEVELAND -- Carlos Carrasco needed to be nearly perfect against Stephen Strasburg.One badly flawed inning doomed him and the Indians.Carrasco walked three Washington hitters in the second inning, when Clevelands infield also failed to turn a double play, and the Indians couldnt get anything going against Strasburg in a 4-1 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.The Indians managed just three hits and were shut out over seven innings by Strasburg (14-1), the Nationals $175 million man who began the season with 13 straight wins before he was beaten by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 21.Facing one of the games top pitchers, Carrasco (7-4) may have been a little overhyped and his wildness in the second cost him as the Nationals scored two runs -- all Strasburg would need. Carrasco needed 38 pitches to get out of the second.Kind of lost my control, Carrasco said. Not too much damage, only two runs, thought it was going to be more, but I held them to two. I thought that I lost my control a little bit. Thats not good.Washington rookie Trea Turner drove in three runs and Daniel Murphy hit his 20th homer off Carrasco, who allowed three runs and three hits in six innings. The right-hander was good. Strasburg was just a little better.Carrasco walked the first two batters in the second before getting Ryan Zimmerman to hit a hard grounder to shortstop Francisco Lindor. It should have been a routine double play, but second baseman Jason Kipnis dropped the ball while transferring it from his glove to his hand and the Nationals had runners at the corners. With two outs, Ben Revere battled Carrasco for 13 pitches before walking and Turner made Carrasco pay by lining a two-run single to left.Strasburg took it from there.I thought coming out of the shoot he had really good stuff, Indians manager Terry Francona said of Carrasco. I think he was a little excited having to pitch against Strasburg, not that he has to hit against him, but its nice to see if you can match up. He had a little extra and it looked like it. In the inning, where I think he threw almost 40 pitches, it was a combination of falling behind, we didnt complete the double play and Revere had an unbelievable at-bat.The Indians rallied for a run in the ninth and had two runners on but Blake Treinen got Roberto Perez to hit into a game-ending double play for his first major league save.Strasburg walked one and struck out seven. He was never in real trouble and on the two occasions the Indians got a runner to third, Strasburg got the out he needed.Jose Ramirez, who had two hits and reached base all three times up against Strasburg, was on third in the second when Strasburg struck out Rajai Davis to end the inning, blowing him away with a 97 mph fastball.Ramirez got to third again with two outs in the fourth after third baseman Anthony Rendons throwing error. This time, Strasburg retired Davis on a slow roller to third.He has a lot of weapons, Francona said. He can throw the ball by you, fastball on both sides of the plate. He has a slider, change. Hes got everything and his fastball has a ton of ride or finish, however you want to put it. His delivery. Its impressive.RED-HOT ROOKIEIndians rookie Tyler Naquin went 2 for 3 and drove in Clevelands only run. He leads all AL rookies with a .330 average.HOME SWEET HOMEAfter being on the road most of July due to Cleveland hosting the Republican National Convention, the Indians will play 18 of their next 23 at Progressive Field. They have more home games (37) the rest if the way than any team in the majors.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: RHP Zach McAllister, who has been on the disabled list since July 7 with a sore right hip, will make a rehab appearance on Thursday at Double-A Akron before the club decides whether to activate him.

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said he wasnt worried when his Cowboys fell 17 points behind Iowa State in the third quarter.His explosive up-tempo offense showed why.

The 17-point comeback tied for the second largest in OSU history.We can score fast, Gundy said. If we were in a conventional offense, we would have been in trouble. Because we have the ability to score really fast, and we have playmakers who can pick up big chunks of yards, I didnt feel that way. But I didnt feel very good either.Rudolph passed for 351 yards and four touchdowns for Oklahoma State (4-2, 2-1 Big 12). Though the Cowboys gained 459 total yards, Gundy was disappointed in the teams offensive production. The Cowboys were held to 108 yards rushing, and most of that was gained in the final 20 minutes.We got a little bit impatient in the first half, Gundy said. Sometimes that happens. Even right now, I dont feel very good about the way we performed on offense. I thought we were very fortunate to come out of this with a win.It was the second consecutive late collapse for Iowa State (1-5, 0-3). The Cyclones were trying to bounce back after a heartbreaking last-second 45-42 loss to No. 13 Baylor last Saturday and get the first conference victory for first-year coach Matt Campbell.I thought it was a gutsy performance, but we just have to learn to finish, and thats part of what were doing, Campbell said.David Montgomerys 1-yard touchdown run with 2:58 left in the second quarter put Iowa State up 17-14. The Cyclones nearly doubled time of possession in the first half and ran 55 plays to Oklahoma States 32.Joel Lanning threw touchdown passes to Trever Ryen and Allen Lazard to help Iowa State take a 17-point lead in the third quarter.I warned my team lasst week about Iowa State and the ability they had to move the football, Gundy said.dddddddddddd(Their) quarterbacks are good players and they spread you out and are good runners. Theyve got good schemes on both sides of the ball, and they made some real nice adjustments on us.Rudolph threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Washington, then a 1-yard touchdown scoring toss to Jalen McCleskey, to help the Cowboys trim Iowa States lead to 31-28 early in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma States Ben Grogan made a 30-yard field goal to tie the score at 31 with 11:33 to play.THE TAKEAWAYIOWA STATE: The Cyclones proved once again that they are competitive, but arent quite there yet. They got solid quarterback play at times from Lanning and Jacob Park, but neither was consistent, and they were sacked a combined seven times.We have the capability and skill set, its more of a process of learning how to execute and learning how to win, Iowa State cornerback Brian Peavy said.OKLAHOMA STATE: The Cowboys built on their victory over Texas the previous week and enter their off week with momentum.Its good to see your guys keep fighting, Rudolph said. I dont know how many points we were down, but this place was kind of dead. The defense played a great game in the second half and got us some stops and turnovers that were much needed. We didnt turn the ball over, which was big for us. We just kept fighting.POLL IMPLICATIONSOklahoma State was 32nd in votes in the most recent poll and likely will be knocking on the door of the Top 25.UP NEXTIOWA STATE: The Cyclones play at Texas next Saturday.
