In the rubber match of this Marlins-Phillies series, big Joe took the mound against big Z, Carlos Zambrano. Blanton was looking to redeem himself from his past couple of starts in which he was lit up. He is 4-5 this year with a 5.05 ERA. Zambrano is 3-3 this year with a 3.00 ERA.
Miami put up two runs with a pair of solo home runs early on. In the third, it was Carlos Zambrano who launched a 418 ft. homer to left field, his 24th of his career. Hanley Ramirez continued his hot streak in Philly with a wallop into the flower beds in left field.
The Phillies' offense had nothing going for four straight innings before Juan Pierre got on base with a bunt double in the sixth. However, he wouldn't be sent home. Not good.
Jose Reyes caused more damage to Blanton's ERA and BABIP with a two-run double to the gap in right-center field. Zambrano moved over to third base, putting two men in scoring position with no outs. This would bring in Chad Qualls, obviously.
