Struggles with command Friday Giolito allowed four runs on three hits and five walks while striking out four in 4.1 innings during Friday's loss to the Astros in Game 2 of the ALDS. He didn't factor into the de...
Impact Giolito finished the regular season on a high note with a 1.10 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 16.1 innings across his final three regular-season starts. However, he was unable to replicate that success Friday, as he threw just 52 of his 90 pitches for strikes. The right-hander's five walks matched his highest total of the season, and his next appearance depends on whether the White Sox can win three consecutive games to advance to the ALCS.

Settles for no-decision Giolito didn't factor in the decision against Detroit on Saturday, pitching five innings and allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three.
Impact Giolito was effective in his final start of the regular season, as the Tigers were held to a lone run and didn't produce any extra-base hits against the hurler. He was outdueled by Detroit starter Matt Manning, who pitched five scoreless frames and also gave up only a pair of hits, though a late-game comeback by Chicago resulted in both pitchers notching a no-decision. Giolito finishes the regular season with a 3.53 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 201 strikeouts across 178.2 innings. His next outing will likely come in the ALDS.

Fires six shutout innings Giolito (11-9) allowed five hits and a walk over six scoreless frames Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over Cleveland.
Impact Giolito threw 62 of 100 pitches for strikes and never faced a serious threat in his second straight win, allowing just one extra-base hit. The 27-year-old righty is 3-1 over his last eight outings with a 2.42 ERA. Sunday marked his first time completing at least six innings since Aug. 25 and he lowered his season ERA to 3.58 through 173.2 frames. Giolito is lined up to face Detroit at home next weekend, although the White Sox could always reshuffle their rotation ahead of the postseason.
