Lucas Giolito described his four-inning outing as “solid.” He allowed one unearned run on two hits, struck out four and walked one. The run, both hits and the walk all came in the first inning. Giolito retired the final nine batters he faced.
“Only thing I’m harping on is the first inning,” he said. “(I’ve) got to come out with a little bit more sense of urgency. A little better rhythm and tempo, which we did find going into the second, third and fourth innings.”
“Just throwing a lot more curveballs than I usually would in a start and in counts that I usually wouldn’t throw them,” he said.
