The Chicago White Sox will start Lucas Giolito in their game against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night. After the team’s impressive Opening Day win on Thursday, Giolito will look to get the Sox another victory over a division rival.
Giolito is coming off a strong spring training and is the Sox no. 2 starter to begin the season. The 23-year-old was solid over seven starts to end last season and is beginning to mature into the starting pitcher the Sox envisioned when they acquired him in December of 2016.
