CLEVELAND (AP) -- Carlos Carrasco came within one out of his first complete game, and the Cleveland Indians finished a three-game sweep with a 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

Carrasco (7-4) allowed four hits, struck out eight and didn't walk a batter in 8 2-3 innings, extending his remarkable turnaround since rejoining the rotation last month.

Adrian Nieto led off the ninth with a single before Adam Eaton hit into a forceout. Carrasco struck out Carlos Sanchez, but rookie slugger Jose Abreu's single to left ended the day for Carrasco, who was given a standing ovation by the crowd of 17,597 as he walked to the dugout.
