Joe Blanton came off the DL and went five innings, giving up three runs and inducing a whopping four double-plays. His Marlin counterpart Javier Vazquez did not fare so well in a game that was muffled in cotton batting. Jimmy Rollins led it off with a solo home run. The Phillies had 12 hits on the way to six runs and a 6-4 victory. Vance Worley, on in relief for the sixth, seventh, and eighth, again made a case for staying in the bigs. There were few people in the stands (announced attendance was just over 11,000), which made the e-a-g-l-e-s chants that erupted in the eighth inning all the more irritating. The same group of dipwits were at a game in Arizona. Stay home or shut up.
