While becoming the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in a fan-free ballpark, Lucas Giolito said he noticed the Chicago White Sox had turned up the fake crowd noise in the late innings to make it feel more real.
Keeping it real has been a habit of Giolito’s. He never made excuses for his rough outings in 2018, and he continues to reap the rewards of his hard work and perseverance.
On a night when he had everything in his arsenal working and a solid defense behind him, Giolito brought a buzz to the South Side that more than made up for the lack of fans.
