8/31/24	Why did Diamondbacks go to Paul Sewald in key moment of loss to Dodgers?. In a shootout 10-9 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, the Arizona Diamondbacks had to make some tough decisions with the bullpen. Ryan Thompson was unavailable and manager Torey Lovullo wanted to stay away from Justin Martinez, as the duo had pitched in each of the previous two games. Starter Zac Gallen did not have great feel for his pitches early, although he gutted out five innings and left with the two sides tied 5-5. The biggest moment for the bullpen came in the seventh inning when Paul Sewald entered down 6-5 with two runners on and one out. Source: https://arizonasports.com/story/3556427/why-did-th...

Arizona went into MLB play Thursday occupying the third and final wild-card spot in the National League. "I think this is what we expected from the beginning of the season," Diamondbacks reliever Ryan Thompson said after the team's 5-4 victory over the Nationals on Wednesday.

MIAMI — The Rays have given reliever Ryan Thompson two stretches of rest this month, with five, four and six days between appearances.

7/05/22	Nick Pivetta hit hard, Red Sox leave too many runners stranded in loss to Rays. Yet while Pivetta found his groove, the Red Sox offense proved inept in scoring opportunities, stranding a pair of runners in the third, fourth, and most painfully, the fifth inning. In the ill-fated fifth, with Springs replaced by righthanded slinger Ryan Thompson, a pair of opposite-field hits — a single by Rob Refsnyder and double by J.D. Martinez (his second of the game) — put runners on second and third with none out. The Sox, however, could not pluck the low-hanging fruit.

6/16/22	Rays swept out of Bronx, now 12 games behind Yankees. The Tampa Bay Rays lost the lead Thursday when Ryan Thompson couldn’t throw strikes in the sixth inning, and they lost the game when Shawn Armstrong gave up a walkoff homer with one out in the ninth to Anthony Rizzo. But the reason they keep losing — Thursday’s 2-1 defeat their third in a row to the N.Y. Yankees and fifth in their last six games, dropping them to 12 games out in the American League East — is that they aren’t hitting. Source: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-sp-rays-...
