Carlos Carrasco ejected for drilling Kevin Youkilis after giving up Robinson Cano HR (Video)



Carlos Carrasco drills Kevin Youkilis, gets ejectedCleveland Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco was ejected from Tuesday's game at Progressive Field after he drilled New York Yankees batter Kevin Youkilis with a pitch immediately after giving up a home run to Robinson Cano.

It happened in the top of the fourth inning after Cano's home run gave the Yankees a 7-0 lead. Carrasco threw his next pitch high and inside to Youkilis, hitting him in the shoulder. Home plate umpire Jordan Baker immediately ejected Carrasco without a warning.

Carrasco was suspended five games back in 2011 for doing the same thing against the Kansas City Royals.

Youkilis got a measure of revenge in his next at-bat by hitting a 2-run homer to help the Yankees rout the Indians 14-1.
