Giolito allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine over six innings in a no-decision Friday in a 5-4 extra-inning win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito was in line for the win, but closer Liam Hendriks coughed up a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was the fourth quality start over the last five appearances of Giolito, who has a 2.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP during that run. The right-hander is in line to next start Wednesday at home against Tampa Bay.

Giolito (5-5) took the loss Saturday against Detroit, surrendering four runs on seven hits while striking out nine across seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was bit by the long ball Saturday, with all of his runs coming on a pair of homers from Eric Haase and another one from Miguel Cabrera. He was still able to persevere through seven innings on 103 pitches, racking up nine strikeouts along the way. He'll look to get back in the win column when he takes the ball in a rematch against the Tigers next Friday.

Giolito (5-4) allowed a run on three hits and three walks with 12 strikeouts in seven innings in a win over Baltimore on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
For the fifth time in his last six starts, Giolito limited the opposition to only one earned run. The right-hander's lone mistake Sunday was a solo shot to DJ Stewart in the third inning. After a rough start to the season, Giolito has bounced back well with a strong May. He's posted a 3.73 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 78:24 K:BB across 62.2 innings overall. He'll look to build on his three-game win streak next weekend versus Detroit.

Giolito (4-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks while striking out five across six innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito was given a five-run lead after two innings and he took advantage by attacking the strike zone and avoiding walks. Both of his runs came in the third inning, though the rally was aided by a throwing error by Yoan Moncada as well as an infield hit. Overall, it was another strong outing for Giolito, and he was now combined to allow two earned runs across his last 14 innings of work. Giolito is projected to make his next start Sunday against Baltimore.

Giolito (1-2) picked up the loss against the Tigers on Tuesday, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito and the White Sox were clinging to a 2-1 lead when manager Tony La Russa let the right-hander, who had thrown 89 pitches, start the seventh inning, but it all caved in on the pitcher. The Tigers pushed across three runs, and La Russa removed Giolito after a four-pitch walk and 114 pitches. It was Giolito's second straight loss after being roughed up in Boston last week. On the plus side, there was no indication that the cut he sustained on a finger over the weekend had any effect. Chicago's ace is next scheduled to start Sunday at home against Cleveland.

Giolito (finger) will start Tuesday against Detroit, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito was pushed back from Sunday's start with a cut that he suffered on his finger. However, the injury won't keep him out long-term, as he is the confirmed starter for the team's opening game of its series against Detroit.
