Blanton Pitches Seven Strong, Minor K's Nine in 2-1 Win Over Phillies

Via Philliedelphia  |  July 28, 2012
Joe Blanton has always been a second half pitcher, and it really showed tonight in Atlanta. It wasn't an 80-pitch complete game shutout, but it was a great start that unfortunately wasn't backed up by much offense from his team.  In the bottom of the first, Chipper Jones popped up a sacrifice fly to Shane Victorino, which allowed Martin Prado to score.
