Giolito allowed six hits and three walks while striking out nine over five scoreless innings Sunday against the Twins. He did not factor into the decision.
Sunday was Giolito's third outing this season without allowing a run, though it was his first time not securing a win in one of those starts. He gave up just one extra-base knock and made some history by recording his 1,000th career strikeout in the bottom of the third. Giolito has recorded nine-plus strikeouts in three of his last six starts but has just one win since June 6. He now holds a 3.79 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 131:42 K:BB in 121 innings and lines up to face the Guardians next, that is if he hasn't been traded by the time he's set to take the mound again.
