Thompson (3-3) did not factor into the decision Thursday, surrendering three runs across 1.2 innings on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts in a win over the Pirates.
The rookie right-hander drew his fourth start of the season and surrendered a first-inning home run to Colin Moran before getting an early hook. Working primarily as a reliever, Thompson holds a 3.54 ERA across 48.1 innings this season with a 48:28 K:BB. Should he remain in the rotation, his next start is scheduled to come next week against the Reds.
