Rays' Ryan Thompson: Charged with loss Wednesday

Thompson (2-2) allowed one run on two hits while striking out two in an inning of work as he took the loss against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Thompson took over for Ryan Yarbrough in the sixth and easily struck out both batters he faced to get out of the inning. He returned for the seventh, allowing a leadoff single to Aaron Judge, who eventually came around to score after Thompson exited the game. The 29-year-old still owns a solid 2.55 ERA as that was the first run he's given up since April 21. He still figures to be one of manager Kevin Cash's go-to guys in high-leverage situations despite the minor hiccup in Wednesday's loss.
