Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson punched the air, then punched the inside of his glove. 

In a game the Cubs would lose 6-2 to the Diamondbacks, Thompson had replaced starter Javier Assad with a runner on third and one out in the sixth inning. And he had just induced a double play to get out of the inning unscathed.
