Seth Johnson made a disappointing Major League debut, lasting only 2.1 innings and allowing nine runs on eight hits and three walks against the Marlins. Despite giving up a home run to the second batter he faced, Johnson received support from manager Rob Thomson, who praised his talent and encouraged him to keep battling. Acknowledging the nerves of his first game, Johnson expressed gratitude for the opportunity and recognized the need to improve his performance. The Phillies, despite his struggles, continue to maintain a strong lead in their division.
