Giolito (4-2) allowed three runs on five hits and did not walk a batter against the Royals on Saturday. He struck out nine across six innings and earned his fourth win of the season in the process

EDGE Analysis

Giolito had a solid outing Saturday after he was roughed up in his previous start. The right-hander allowed a solo shot to Bubba Starling in the third inning and was eventually replaced in the seventh after surrendering back-to-back hits to begin the frame. Giolito is currently second in the majors with 75 strikeouts, and he has fanned at least eight batters in each of his last four starts. The 26-year-old is scheduled to take the mound next Saturday in what should be a favorable matchup with the Tigers.
