Heading into the second game of the Red Sox doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles, Lucas Giolito’s ERA was a touch above seven. Given his performance in 2023 and lengthy absence, it’d be easy to label the righty as damaged goods. Before the game, I surmised that Giolito was much better than his stats.
