The runs needed to come for Joe Blanton and that they did.
Making his fourth start of the season, Blanton went out and did his job while the offense did theirs, leading the Phillies to a 5-2 win Saturday night. The win evened the four-game weekend series up at one apiece.
It was the fourth time in five games the Phillies scored more than two runs, coming after a 16-game start that saw them do the feat only six times.
