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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
