From Rotoworld: Thompson earned his first victory of the season on Friday, firing five scoreless innings against the Braves. Thompson struck out five and walked two on the night. He was pressed into emergency action when Jeremy Hellickson was scratched and stepped up in a big way, scattering five hits on the night. If he remains in the club’s rotation, he’ll take on the Angels in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Ramirez managed to hold the Indians to two runs over six innings in spite of six walks but still took a loss Thursday. The six free passes were a season high for Ramirez, who has generally had good control this year but it’s wavered on him of late. It could be a function of him tiring in his first year as a starter since 2011. Ramirez will carry a 4.29 ERA into his next start against the Phillies.
