Giolito (3-6) took the loss against the Indians on Tuesday, allowing five runs on nine hits with three strikeouts over six innings. He did not walk a batter.
The effort represented a marked improvement over Giolito's 1.1-inning outing last week, but that's not saying much. The 23-year-old did not walk a batter for the first time this season -- he has a 30:37 K:BB over 55 innings -- but had trouble avoiding hard contact against Cleveland. Giolito lines up to start next Wednesday versus the Twins.
