The Detroit Tigers loaded the bases with one out in the fourth inning Thursday against the Chicago White Sox.
Giolito struck out Niko Goodrum swinging with an 82 mph changeup and fanned Christin Stewart swinging with a 95 mph fastball to get out of the jam.
Giolito matched a career high with 13 strikeouts in seven shutout innings as the Sox completed a four-game series sweep with a 9-0 victory at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Giolito allowed three hits and walked one as the Sox (15-11) won their fifth straight.
The Sox took advantage of Spencer Turnbull’s wildness to score three runs in the first.
