Morton struggled last time out against the New York Yankees while giving up five runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks over a season-low four innings without factoring in the decision. The 35-year-old New Jersey native had yielded two or fewer runs in eight of his previous nine starts and boasts 67 strikeouts across 54 1/3 innings overall. Kipnis has homered versus Morton, who was 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in two starts against the Indians last year.
Carrasco suffered the loss on Monday against Oakland when he permitted three runs over five innings after tossing 12 scoreless innings versus the Chicago White Sox in two straight wins. The 32-year-old Venezuela native owns 66 strikeouts and just nine walks across 52 1/3 innings this season, but has served up 10 homers in 10 outings. Pham is 3-for-6 with a triple against Carrasco, who was 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in two games versus Tampa Bay in 2018.
