Lucas Giolito blasts Josh Donaldson after 'sticky' barb: 'Classless move'

CHICAGO -- Lucas Giolito heard what Josh Donaldson said, and he was none too pleased.

The ace right-hander had something to say, too.

Giolito lobbed an expletive-laced response in Donaldson's direction after the slugger appeared to yell, "Not sticky anymore," after a first-inning home run in the Chicago White Sox's 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Giolito, who got his first win in a month in his 100th career start, surrendered a two-run drive to Donaldson on his fifth pitch. Donaldson's apparent comment came as he rubbed his hands together while making his way to the Twins' dugout.
