Seth Johnson was named International League Pitcher of the Week for the week of August 26 - September 1. Johnson only made one start last week but made it so impactful so as to garner the weekly honor. Pitching on August 30th against the Syracuse Mets, Johnson spun six innings of shutout baseball, earning the victory (his second in a row). Johnson struck out five and allowed only two base runners : a double and a walk. He retired the first five hitters of the ballgame before allowing the double and walk consecutively in the second inning. Following the base on balls, Johnson proceeded to mow down the ensuing 13 batters in a row to cap his outing. Johnson was acquired by the Philadelphia Phillies from the Baltimore Orioles on July 30, 2024, along with RHP Moises Chace (who was named the Eastern League’s Pitcher of the Week for the past week as well) for LHP Gregory Soto. - Media Notes

Bennett Makes History. Pierce Bennett had a 3-run triple on Friday in an exciting week for him. He was intentionally walked with the bases loaded on Wednesday night after a series of events that included a mid-at bat pitching change rejected by the umpires following a second mound visit during his at bat. Bennett is the first MiLB player to be intentionally walked with the bases loaded since at least 2005. Since 1969, the following MLB players have been intentionally walked with the bases loaded: Barry Bonds (with SF vs AZ in 1998), Josh Hamilton (with TEX vs TAM in 2008), and Corey Seager (with TEX vs LAA in 2022). Mexican League player Abel Martinez was also intentionally walked with the bases loaded in 2005 for Laguna vs Tiajuana. - Media Notes
