Giolito (11-5) was charged with the loss against the Twins on Thursday after surrendering seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.
It wasn't the best outing for the right-hander, who fell victim to a three-homer, five-RBI night from Nelson Cruz. Giolito also allowed Max Kepler to go deep with a two-run shot in his final inning of the game. Despite the shaky start, the 25-year-old has pieced together a stellar campaign with a 3.52 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 141:42 K:BB over 20 starts. He'll next work another home contest Wednesday against the Mets.
