FACTS/ FLUKES: Giolito, Martinez, Hicks, Cease, Voit

Giolito has arrived ... Traded by the team that drafted him, Lucas Giolito capped the metamorphisis from struggling prospect to ace with a no-hitter vs. Pittsburgh. After a rocky first start, the 26-year-old is thriving with back-to-back PQS-5 starts in which he's whiffed 13 batters. Do his skills support up this level of dominance?
