Jake Thompson tweaks delivery, offers ray of light on a dark night for Phillies

Jake Thompson had the kind of start those who traded for him a year ago and those who watched him pitch this season in Triple A said he was capable of having. Thompson held the NL East-leading Nationals to two runs over seven innings, his longest of five outings in the majors. After watching Thompson for four starts, pitching coach Bob McClure decided to suggest some delivery changes to the 22-year-old right-hander.
