Jake Thompson. Shout that name from the rooftops.
JAKE THOMPSON!!!!!!
He was the undisputed star of today’s 3-1 win over the Marlins. He went six innings, allowed just three hits and struck out seven. And he walked no one. He dominated. It was exactly what he needed. (And we, too.)
The two teams battled the entire game, with both trading single, solitary runs in the fifth. So just looking at that, you might think it’s pretty equal. But you would be wrong. The Phillies had 11 hits on the day, and the Marlins had just four.
