Final Thoughts

Jake Thompson has had a rough year in both the minors and majors, but today’s start was a pretty strong one.

One of the centerpieces of the Cole Hamels’ trade, Thompson’s struggles have been concerning so far, so its good to see him finally have a little success in the big leagues.

With Jerad Eickhoff shut down for the season, Thompson will probably get another start, and likely the rest of the season to put himself in the conversation to join the rotation next year.
