Last night the Phillies started a 4 game road trip. \u00a02 of which will be played in STL and 2 that will be played against the Mets. \u00a0Tonight Joe Blanton took the mound against the Cards, and what a good job he did. \u00a0He only allowed 1 run throughout his 6 innings. \u00a0And while it wasn’t a blow out performance, meaning he didn’t come in and have 10 SO’s he kept the ball low which meant no long-balls. \u00a0Phillies were up 2-1 heading into the 5th inning when the bases got loaded for Ryan Howard and we usually know the story here. \u00a0We have said it 7 times in his young career and 2 times this year already. \u00a0Grand Salami, now giving him 7 all time tying the record for the Phillies with the current holder of a guy that some of you may of heard once or twice, Mr. Mike Schmidt. \u00a0This breaking the game open for the Phillies at that point making it a 6-1 game.<\/p>\n
