Giolito (7-6) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over five innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox established an early lead and Giolito was able to make it stick. He had some trouble in the third inning, which resulted in him needing 94 pitches (64 strikes) to get through five frames. The right-hander hasn't pitched deeper than that in three starts since the All-Star break. He has a 5.06 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 115:39 K:BB across 101.1 innings in 19 starts this year. Giolito is expected to start on the road against the Rangers this weekend.

Giolito didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies, giving up three runs on six hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander hadn't issued more than two free passes in any of his previous six starts, but Giolito had trouble putting batters away in Coors Field, although he was at least able to limit the damage somewhat. His 12.6 percent swinging strike rate on the season is his worst mark since 2018, and more contact combined with a career-worst .349 BABIP has led to a 5.14 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. Even if Giolito's luck on balls in play gets better, it's hard to imagine he'll put together a true second-half turnaround without more whiffs.

Giolito (6-6) took the loss Friday as the White Sox fell 8-2 to the Guardians, surrendering six runs on nine hits over three innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander filled up the strike zone, tossing 48 of 64 pitches for strikes before exiting, but he wasn't fooling anyone as he managed only five swinging strikes. Giolito has been tagged for at least five runs in four of his last seven starts, stumbling to a 6.87 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB through 38 innings over that stretch. His inconsistency even in seemingly plus matchups makes him a difficult pitcher to deploy right now in most fantasy formats.

Giolito (6-5) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on five hits and one walk over 6.1 innings against the Guardians. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito allowed leadoff doubles in the fourth and sixth innings but was able to strand both runners without giving up a run. However, the right-hander got into trouble again in the seventh after giving up a one-out single to Franmil Reyes followed by a full-count walk to Nolan Jones. Reynaldo Lopez replaced Giolito after the walk, but the starter was charged with an unearned run after Reyes scored on a fielding error by Josh Harrison. After surrendering 30 runs during a five-start streak that ended Jun 22, Giolito has given up two or fewer runs in three of his last four outings and has 26 strikeouts across 25 innings during the latter span. The right-hander isn't scheduled to start again until after the All-Star break.

Giolito (6-5) allowed one unearned run on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 6.1 innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito shut down the Cleveland lineup and was not charged with an earned run in a start for the first time since Opening Day. He's allowed two or fewer runs in three of his last four starts, but he has also been beaten up for five or more earned runs in three of his last six outings. That inconsistency has led to a 4.69 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 102:32 K:BB across 88.1 innings for Giolito on the season.

Giolito (5-5) yielded five runs on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings Friday, striking out eight and taking a loss against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito allowed just one single through five shutout frames before running into trouble. He served up a two-run shot to Jeimer Candelario in the sixth inning before Candelario tagged him with an RBI single in the seventh. The 27-year-old was tagged with two more runs in the seventh with Joe Kelly on the mound. Giolito has registered a brutal 7.11 ERA over his last eight starts, bumping his season number to 5.05 through 82 innings. He's expected to take the mound in Cleveland next week.

Giolito allowed a run on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings, earning the win Sunday over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't an instant barrage of offense, but the White Sox gave Giolito plenty of support en route to his first win since June 5. He kept the Giants off the board until the sixth inning, when Joc Pederson tagged him for an RBI double. Giolito gave up 26 runs (23 earned) in 27 innings in June, so it's encouraging to see him open July with a positive effort. He has a 4.90 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 89:29 K:BB through 75.1 innings in 14 starts overall. The veteran right-hander is lined up for a home start against the Tigers next week.

Giolito did not factor in the decision against the Angels on Monday, completing six innings and allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito had been struggling mightily entering the contest, allowing 30 runs (27 earned) over his previous 25.2 innings. He appeared to straighten things out against the Angels, keeping the ball in the park for the first time over his past six outings and notching a quality start. However, a seventh-inning Los Angeles rally prevented him from snapping a three-game winless streak. Giolito will look to use this strong start to turn things around, as his 5.19 ERA and 1.53 WHIP are significantly worse than his career norms. There are some peripherals that suggest his surface numbers are likely to improve, including an excellent 10.6 K/9 and a .360 BABIP that will probably drop.

Giolito (4-4) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays after surrendering seven runs on 11 hits with three strikeouts and one walk across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito generated 10 swinging strikes on 95 pitches but gave up five extra-base hits, including a grand slam to Bo Bichette during the fourth inning. The right-hander had a 2.63 ERA through his first seven starts of the year, but in his past five outings he's allowed 30 runs (27 earned) with a 25:11 K:BB over 25.2 innings. Giolito tentatively lines up to next take the mound Monday against the Angels.

Giolito (4-3) picked up a five-inning loss Friday against the Astros, allowing eight runs on seven hits while striking out three and walking three.

EDGE Analysis

This was arguably Giolito's worst game of the season, increasing his ERA by nearly a run to 4.78. The righty got tagged for eight runs, including two home runs, both of which are the most he has allowed in a game this season. He also threw a season-low three strikeouts for the second time this month. He has a 7.88 June ERA, which he will look to improve in his next appearance, which is projected to be a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.
