Things didn’t go well for Jake Thompson the last time he wore a Phillies uniform. Coming off five scoreless innings in his start against the Braves on July 28, Thompson only made it two innings before getting lit up by the Angels on Aug. 2. He gave up five extra base hits, including three home runs, for seven runs in the third inning. His finished line was five innings pitched, seven runs, nine hits, one walk and two strikeouts.
Bad news for Thompson, who is fighting for a top spot on Phils’ pitching-heavy depth chart. In five appearances this season (two starts), the 23-year-old right-hander has given up 12 runs (7 earned), 20 hits, and four home runs.
