Joe Blanton struck out two and gave up four runs — one earned — in six innings of work as the Phillies handed the Nationals their 100th loss of the year. The Phillies spotted Blanton a 7-1 lead entering the third, and the team went on to win 8-4, ensuring that it’d remain at least one game ahead of the Mets in the NL East. Though this was just Blanton’s fourth win in his 13 starts, he has been a great midseason acquisition for the Phillies, who went 9-4 when he was on the mound. He finished the season just short of 200 innings (197 2/3) with a 111/66 K/BB ratio in his 33 starts split between Oakland and Philadelphia. He’s under control for two more years, so he’ll be back in the middle of the rotation next season. (Rotoworld)
