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.
The 27-year-old allowed just one single through five shutout frames before running into trouble in the sixth. He served up a two-run shot to Jeimer Candelario before Candelario delivered an RBI single in the seventh. Giolito was then tagged with two more runs after he left the game 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.
