"I'm having a blast right now with these guys," Giolito said. "Every single game matters, so it just kind of adds that extra edge each time you take the ball, especially with the way our rotation's been going. Watching (Garrett) Crochet and (Brayan) Bello and Dustin May, who we recently acquired, watching them work, it adds extra motivation to keep up and keep putting up good performances."

Lucas Giolito goes to the hill where he's been hot and cold of late. Over his last four starts, Giolito has two excellent outings against the Astros and Marlins, where he allowed a total of two runs over a combined 14.1 inning of work, and then two stinkers where he struggled to throw strikes and only got through 4.2 inning of work against both the Padres and the Yankees.

At the end of the day, it's just one bad outing, albeit at a difficult stretch in the season for the team. Giolito spoke with Yahoo Sports about how he wants to contribute to the Red Sox after all the time off. "Last year, you know, Netflix was here, all this stuff's going on, and I'd be around, and it's like, 'I'm on the team' ... but I'm not. I haven't done s***."
