Here's a quick look at the debuts of rehabbing right-hander Tom Gordon and rising prospect Carlos Carrasco in their respective minor league appearances Sunday...

At Clearwater in his first appearance since being placed on the disabled list July 6, Gordon faced four batters.

In 2/3 of an inning, Gordon struck out one, walked one, and served up a two-run home from to Dunedin's Brian Dopirak. Gordon took the loss in a 6-2 Threshers loss.


In his first start since being promoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Carrasco showed he belonged. The 21-year-old right-hander, the top prospect in the Phillies system, pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and two runs (but zero earned runs) while striking out four and walking two.

Carrasco threw 102 pitches, 67 for strikes.
