Giolito has pitched at Angel Stadium as an amateur, and attended the 2002 World Series as a fan. Tuesday will mark his first start here as a member of the home team.

ANAHEIM ― Long before he threw his first major league pitch here five years ago with the Chicago White Sox, Lucas Giolito had formed lifelong memories of Angel Stadium.

As a high schooler at Harvard-Westlake, Giolito threw a showcase for baseball scouts at Angel Stadium. He must have showed well; the Washington Nationals chose Giolito 16th overall in the 2012 draft. “If I let the moment get too big, I feel that’s when I can lose focus on the task at hand,” Giolito said. “It’s all about my preparation leading up to it, going out and executing one pitch at a time. That’s how I like to operate, especially considering my last two haven’t been good.”

Giolito emphasized his slider in his previous outing, his Angels debut in Toronto on July 28. Command was less of an issue, but the Angels gave him too little run support in a 4-1 loss.
