Cubs notes: Thompson effective despite control issues; Bulls star LaVine has baseball connections. McGrawDHSports Cubs
But there's been an unusual trend to his stat line. In 13⅔ innings pitched, Thompson has given up just 2 hits -- but 10 walks. Manager David Ross discussed the situation before Wednesday's game against San Diego.
The eighth inning on Tuesday provided a nice case study when Thompson faced the top of the Padres' order, while the Cubs' lead was 2-0. He struck out Fernando Tatis Jr., got Juan Soto on a foul pop-up, then walked both Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts before ending the inning with a Jake Cronenworth fly-out."One thing I know about Keegan, he's done a nice job of just navigating the moments where he gets a little bit out of whack and syncing that back up," Ross said.

He's tight with Padres pitcher Blake Snell, because Snell's girlfriend Haeley Mar is the sister of LaVine's wife Hunter. All four all Seattle-area natives.
