Giolito allowed one run on four hits and three walks in 6.1 innings but didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Royals. He struck out three batters.

EDGE Analysis

It was a nice bounce back start for Giolito, who lasted just 5.1 innings and allowed five runs (three earned) in his previous outing. The young right-hander now boasts an impressive 2.56 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through his first five starts with the White Sox, a stretch over which he's also collected three quality starts and a pair of wins. While he hasn't faced the league's most impressive offenses, the 23-year-old has shown flashes of why he was viewed as one of the top pitching prospects before struggling last season. He'll face his toughest test yet in his next start, which is scheduled for Tuesday against the Astros.
