Thompson earned his first major league victory in Friday's 10-6 win over the Rockies. He allowed three runs on two hits over five innings with six strikeouts and three walks.
Thompson was laboring in the fifth inning, so he did not come out for the sixth despite having thrown only 87 pitches. He didn't walk many batters in the minors, but he's walked seven in his two starts in the majors. He will face the Dodgers in his next start.
