EDGE Analysis

Giolito was shaky early in his start. He surrendered three runs in the second inning, including a two-run blast from Luke Raley, and then allowed a solo shot to Harold Ramirez the following frame to give the Rays a 4-0 lead. Following the Ramirez home run, Giolito went on to retire 13 of the next 14 batters he faced and put up his longest start of season thus far. The 28-year-old now sits at a 4.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 28:6 K:BB over 28 innings. His strikeout numbers have taken a dip to start the year but he's also been limiting his walks. He's projected to face the Rays again in Chicago next weekend.
