Doesn’t matter who he faces, Trayce Thompson continues to have success at the plate.
Given the chance to start against right-handed pitchers on consecutive days after he mostly was paired up versus lefties, the White Sox outfielder produced four hits in seven at-bats, including a homer, a walk and four RBIs.
Thompson — who has a .408/.453/.714 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 53 plate appearances — said he has noticed how pitchers have adjusted their plan of attack and he has done his best to keep pace. After Thompson homered in the second inning of Wednesday’s loss, Cleveland pitched him outside and he finally was able to execute in his last at-bat with an RBI single to right center.
