Lucas Giolito was heading into the fifth inning, and into the All-Star Game, on a very nice roll.
And then, just like that, facing the bottom third of the Cubs lineup, the 24-year-old right-hander who resurrected his career this season turned into Lucas Giolito 2018, walking Robel Garcia, David Bote and Addison Russell to open the fifth. A cue shot double to left by Kyle Schwarber scored two runs — Schwarber looked up and around thinking it was fouled off in another direction — and a sharply hit double down the third base line by Javier Baez scored two more, ending Giolito’s night and first half on a bad note.
