EDGE Analysis
Thompson made relatively quick work of the Marlins after taking over for Tyler Glasnow, notching first-pitch strikes against three of the four batters he faced and getting three swings and misses as well. The 28-year-old's strong start was an extension of his body of work this spring, when he posted a 1.59 ERA, 0.18 WHIP and .056 BAA across the 5.2 frames covering his six appearances.
