Solid against Reds Thompson allowed two runs on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts through five innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.
Impact All three of the hits Thompson allowed came in the first inning, but the Reds made two of them count. A Tyler Naquin double led to a Nick Castellanos homer that constituted the two runs the right-hander conceded on the night. While he didn't rack up the strikeouts, Thompson faced the minimum for his remaining four innings. Even though he owns a stellar 2.97 ERA on the season, he is winless in his last eight starts. Such is life for a Miami pitcher in 2021.
