Thompson (1-2) allowed seven runs, five of which were earned, on seven hits and two walks across five innings to take the loss Friday against the Nationals.
Thompson allowed runs in four of the five innings he pitched, including an inside-the-park grand slam off the bat of Michael Taylor, as he dropped his second decision of the season. In the five starts he's made since July 28, he's proven to be extremely volatile, as he's matched stellar outings with terrible performances, making him a very risky fantasy option. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Marlins.
