Impact The right-hander's lone run conceded came on a Corey Dickerson RBI triple in the fourth inning.

The 27-year-old has a 3.68 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 175:43 K:BB through 154 innings overall. He carries a 9-9 record into a projected home start versus Pittsburgh next week.

Giolito has fanned exactly eight batters in three straight games and has five quality starts in seven outings since the All-Star break, posting a 2.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 44:9 K:BB through 44 innings over that stretch.

Fans eight in short outing Giolito (9-9) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks over four innings Sunday, striking out eight and taking a loss against the Yankees.
Impact All three runs against Giolito came in the second inning, highlighted by a two-run shot off the bat of Rougned Odor. The 6-foot-6 righty labored through four frames, throwing 64-of-101 pitches for strikes and walking more than one batter for the first time in his last four appearances. It's been an inconsistent August for Giolito so far; his eight-inning gem against the Twins is sandwiched between a pair of starts where he allowed a combined nine runs over eight innings, raising his season ERA to 3.83. He's lined up for a road start against the Rays next week.

Dominates Twins over eight frames Giolito improved to 9-8 after holding the Twins to one run over eight innings in Monday's 11-1 victory. He surrendered two hits and walked none while striking out eight in the 103-...
Impact Giolito had the luxury of working with plenty of run support after the White Sox jumped out to a 7-0 lead after two innings, but the right-hander didn't need much cushion in the dominant victory. He faced the minimum amount of batters through seven innings and looked like he might have a shot at a complete-game shutout, but a slightly turbulent eighth inning in which he yielded a solo home run to Miguel Sano prompted the White Sox to hold him out for the final frame. Through five starts since the All-Star break, Giolito has gone 2-2 with a 2.73 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 7.6 K/9.

Roughed up by Royals Giolito (8-8) was handed the loss by Kansas City on Wednesday as a result of allowing six runs on eight hits over four innings. He struck out two.
Impact The Royals entered the game near the bottom of the league in both runs scored and long balls, but they got to Giolito early and often Wednesday. The right-hander surrendered a trio of homers and tossed 81 pitches before he was lifted after the fourth inning. The subpar outing was perhaps most surprising because Giolito came into the contest pitching very well, holding opponents to just five runs while posting a 27:8 K:BB over his previous four starts covering 26.1 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, which is projected to take place at Minnesota early next week.
