Lucas Giolito’s longest outing in four years propelled the Red Sox to a 6-1, sweep-completing win over Astros on Sunday afternoon. He stifled Houston’s lineup for eight innings, allowing one run and three hits. The lone blemish: a home run from Carlos Correa on a 92-mile-per-hour fastball left over the middle of the middle of the plate.

Lucas Giolito only had one blemish in his start on Sunday, giving up just three hits in eight innings to help the Red Sox sweep the Astros.

Lucas Giolito isn’t a ‘morning person,’ but his excellent start against the Houston Astros on Sunday prompted Red Sox manager Alex Cora to give him a funny new nickname.
