On Friday, in the nation’s capital, on the Fourth of July, Giolito faced, and dominated, the team he debuted with nine years ago. He only appeared in six games for the Washington Nationals in 2016 before being traded to the Chicago White Sox the following offseason.

The Red Sox have scored 51 runs in winning four out of six, with every member of the starting lineup reaching base at least once before Washington recorded an out in the fifth inning Friday.

Trevor Story homered and drove in four as part of a four-hit day, Lucas Giolito pitched 7 2/3 innings of one-run ball in his first game against the team that drafted him, and the Boston Red Sox routed the Washington Nationals 11-2.
