Lucas Giolito, pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, has delivered an outstanding performance in his recent starts during the 2025 MLB season. After missing the entire previous year, Giolito has recorded a 0.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over his last five starts, pitching 32.2 innings with 31 strikeouts and 10 walks. In his most recent outing, he pitched 7.2 innings, allowing one earned run and striking out seven batters, marking his longest outing since August 2021. Over his last six starts, Giolito has further improved, posting a 0.70 ERA across 38.2 innings with only three earned runs allowed, lowering his season ERA from 6.42 to 3.36. This six-start stretch places him among elite company in Red Sox history, joining pitchers Chris Sale (2018), Pedro Martinez (2002), Roger Clemens (1990), and Luis Tiant (1972) who have achieved similar dominance over at least 38 innings with three or fewer earned runs allowed. Giolito's resurgence has been a key factor in the Red Sox's pitching staff performance this season.
Lucas Giolito's last six starts: 38.2 IP 3 ER 0.70 ERA Since 1946, only four Red Sox pitchers have ever had a six-start span of at least 38 innings pitched and three earned runs or fewer allowed: Chris Sale (2018) Pedro Martinez (2002) Roger Clemens (1990) Luis Tiant (1972)
