The newly acquired right-hander gives up three homers, getting knocked out in the fourth inning of a 12-5 loss in Atlanta as the Angels finish 5-4 on the trip
ATLANTA — Lucas Giolito’s mere presence on the mound in an Angels uniform was a strong statement about the club’s intention to push for the playoffs.Giolito was blistered for nine runs in the Angels’ 12-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday afternoon.last week, Giolito has allowed 12 runs in nine innings. He pitched well enough to win if the Angels had given him any run-support Friday in Toronto, but this game was a nightmare.
Giolito gave up a three-run homer when he threw Ronald Acuña Jr. a fastball down the middle in the third inning. In the fourth, he walked a batter, hit a batter and then gave up two singles.It was the disappointing end to a nine-game trip that began with such promise. The Angels , which was where they were they enjoyed the “buzz,” in manager Phil Nevin’s words, of the deal for Giolito and reliever Reynaldo López.
