SAN ANTONIO - San Diego Padres pitcher and former MLB All-Star Lucas Giolito will join the San Antonio Missions to start their game on Tuesday, May 5 at Nelson Wolff Stadium. First pitch is set for 6:05 p.m.

Giolito signed with the Padres on April 22 after spending the 2025 season with the Boston Red Sox. His 10-4 record marked a career-best winning percentage (.714), and he posted a 3.41 ERA with 121 strikeouts and 56 walks in 26 starts for the Red Sox.

The Washington Nationals drafted Giolito in the first round of the 2012 MLB Draft out of Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles, California.

Giolito received votes for the Cy Young Award in each season from 2019-2021, and on Aug. 25, 2020, Giolito threw a no-hitter while striking out 13 for the White Sox against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
