Giolito (8-8) was handed the loss by Kansas City on Wednesday as a result of allowing six runs on eight hits over four innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals entered the game near the bottom of the league in both runs scored and long balls, but they got to Giolito early and often Wednesday. The right-hander surrendered a trio of homers and tossed 81 pitches before he was lifted after the fourth inning. The subpar outing was perhaps most surprising because Giolito came into the contest pitching very well, holding opponents to just five runs while posting a 27:8 K:BB over his previous four starts covering 26.1 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is projected to take place at Minnesota early next week.

Giolito hurled six innings against Kansas City on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander breezed through six scoreless innings before giving up back-to-back doubles that resulted in a run in the seventh. He was in line to pick up his ninth win of the season until Salvador Perez hit a game-tying home run off Liam Hendriks in the ninth frame. Giolito racked up 18 swinging strikes in the outing and appeared to regain his control after walking five batters against Milwaukee in his previous start. He'll carry a 3.67 ERA into a rematch against the Royals -- this time in Chicago -- early next week.

Giolito (8-7) allowed a run on six hits and five walks while striking out three in six innings, taking the loss versus Milwaukee on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite matching his season-high total for baserunners, the right-hander was able to limit the damage to just one run. Giolito kept the White Sox in it, but relievers Aaron Bummer and Ryan Burr melted down in the seventh inning. Through 119 innings, Giolito owns a 3.78 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 136:38 K:BB this year. He projects to make his next start in Kansas City next week.

Giolito (8-6) earned the win over Houston on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits while striking out eight over nine innings.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito was supported by five home runs, which certainly made life easy for the White Sox's ace, but he didn't need it. After allowing a first-inning double to Michael Brantley, Giolito retired 22 consecutive batters before Abraham Toro touched him for a two-out home run in the eighth. This was his first complete game since he no-hit the Pirates on Aug. 25 last season. Giolito's next turn through the rotation lines up for Friday on the road against Milwaukee.

Giolito (7-6) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out nine over 5.1 innings to earn the victory in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito needed 106 pitches to get 16 outs, but all of his pitches were working and he managed 16 swings-and-misses. He heads into the All-Star break at 7-6 with a 4.15 ERA and 10.8 K/9. While fellow starters Lance Lynn and Carlos Rodon take part in the Midsummer Classic, Giolito can rest up the next few days and could pitch the first game after the break, Friday at home against Houston.

Giolito (6-6) took the loss Sunday versus Detroit. He allowed six runs on 10 hits and a walk with five strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

The 10 hits were a season high for the right-hander, while the six runs were the second-highest total he's allowed this year. Sunday was also Giolito's shortest outing since May 9. The 26-year-old has a 4.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 116:31 K:BB across 98.2 innings this year. He'll look to limit the damage in his next start, which lines up as a favorable road matchup in Baltimore next weekend.

Giolito (6-5) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-6 victory over the Twins, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a dominant performance, and Giolito looked like he might be in for a rough night after Josh Donaldson took him deep in the first inning, but the right-hander settled down and delivered his fourth straight quality start and eighth of the year. Giolito will take a 3.84 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 111:30 K:BB through 93.2 innings into his next outing.

Giolito won't start as scheduled Monday against the Twins since the game was postponed due to rain.

EDGE Analysis

The contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader July 19. According to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, Giolito will take the mound Tuesday versus Minnesota, pushing back Dylan Cease at least a day.

Giolito allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings Tuesday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito took advantage of the soft matchup to pick up his third consecutive quality start. In that span, he's racked a 23:5 K:BB across 18 innings while surrendering only seven earned runs. Tuesday's start was highlighted by eight flyball outs, and the only major damage Giolito surrendered was a solo home run to Adam Frazier. Overall, Giolito now has a 3.80 ERA with 110 strikeouts across 87.2 frames on the campaign.

Giolito allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven in six innings of Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The righty cruised through four innings before yielding two runs in the fifth and another in the sixth. Despite leaving the game with a 7-3 lead, Giolito did not earn a win thanks to his bullpen's failures in the ensuing innings. He has now logged a quality start in five of his last six outings. Giolito is expected to make his next start Tuesday against the Pirates, whom he no-hit a season ago.
