EDGE Analysis

Aside from hitting Kyle Farmer in the face with a pitch, it was a solid outing for Giolito, though not a very efficient one -- it took him 108 pitches to get through six frames. His lone blemish came on a Michael Taylor bases-loaded groundout that ended up driving in a run. Giolito still might not have the prettiest statline to look at on the year, but Wednesday was certainly a nice bounce-back performance from his last start in Pittsburgh.
