CLEVELAND, June 18 (UPI) -- Carlos Carrasco and a pair of relievers shut the Pirates down on four hits Saturday, sparking the Cleveland Indians to a 5-1 win over Pittsburgh.

Carrasco (7-3) won for the sixth time in seven starts, yielding only one run on four hits over 6 1/3 innings while walking one and striking out four. The Indians right-hander logged his third straight start allowing one run or less.

Joe Smith and Tony Sipp combined on 2 2/3 frames of hitless relief as the Indians clinched their three-game interleague series against the Pirates.

Grady Sizemore went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and Orlando Cabrera powered a solo homer for Cleveland.

Pirates starter Paul Maholm (3-8) absorbed the loss, surrendering four runs on seven hits in a 6 1/3-inning effort.
