Red Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito’s last five starts have been nothing short of commanding.
His latest outing, a 7 u2154 performance in which he allowed one run and Boston won 11-2, felt extra special for the 30-year-old hurler.
On Friday, in the nation’s capital, on the Fourth of July, Giolito faced, and dominated, the team he debuted with nine years ago. He only appeared in six games for the Washington Nationals in 2016 before being traded to the Chicago White Sox the following offseason.
Giolito threw his longest game since joining the Red Sox two years ago and racked up seven strikeouts against his former club.
