Blanton’s Start Pushed Back with Brewers-Phillies Rain
Steady rain forced the postponement of a key matchup between the NL wild card-leading Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. The game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Sunday. The first game starts at 1:35 p.m. and the nightcap at 7:35 p.m. Scheduled starters Cole Hamels (12-9) and Manny Parra (10-7) are expected to start Saturday. Dave Bush and Joe Blanton were scheduled to start Saturday, but will now likely pitch in one of the two games on Sunday. Blanton has pitched as many as six innings only once in his last six starts, allowing four earned runs in four. He’s a mediocre pitcher at best, but pitching for the Phillies allows him to win a few games here and there. (CBS Sports)
