The under is 15-5-3 in Cleveland last 23 road games and Cleveland are 25-9 in their last 34 Thursday games while Cleveland are 15-6 in Salazar's last 21 starts. He will face the Tigers in the third game of a four-game series on Wednesday.
Carrasco did not have the kind of spring training that the Indians envisioned for a pitcher whose 2016 season ended on September 17 when he suffered a broken right hand from a line drive by Ian Kinsler.
The Tigers are finally getting back their star first baseman, Miguel Cabrera.
Miguel Cabrera is expected to play May 2, coming off the 10-day DL with a groin injury. On a cold, damp night, he left for a defensive replacement after seven innings. Kluber had gone at least six innings in each of his first five starts. Quintana (2-4) walked two, struck out seven and allowed only one runner to reach second base.
Tigers closer Francisco Rodriguez earned his seventh save of the season. He struck out four before being removed with discomfort in his lower back.
The first three innings were rather quiet, with both starters (Carrasco and Detroit's Matt Boyd) cruising. "You have to balance trying to keep going against causing more damage".
Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said he expects Cabrera to come off the disabled list Tuesday and play against Cleveland.

"It has been bothering me off and on for a few starts now, but this was the first time I couldn't pitch through it", Kluber told reporters after the game.
The Indians talked about opening the season with Carrasco on the disabled list to let him throw more innings. He gave up two solo homers in the second inning, allowed another run in the third but retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced.
Francona called for left-hander Andrew Miller and closer Cody Allen to work the final three innings. Over seven games Adduci is hitting.333.
General manager Sandy Alderson said on Monday that Syndergaard's stint on the DL likely would be measured in weeks rather than days, though he avoided divulging a specific timeline.
Austin Jackson beat out an infield single in the ninth inning for the Tribe, but left the game with an injury. RHP Joe Colon has been recalled from Columbus.
"Everyone knows (Cabrera's) hitting ability, but it's a lift to the team", Boyd said.
