Blanton has improved each start. Blanton started the season 2-3 with a 7.11 ERA. Since, he is 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA. Blanton says the difference may be the improvement in his changeup.
On the other hand, Wellemeyer has struggled, and has a 6.44 ERA in his last eight starts. Chase Utley has Wellemeyer in his book. He is 4-for-8 with 2 home runs against him.
A win today would give the Phillies 9,001 all-time regular season wins.
