So much for the panic over the Phils’ shaky start.
The Fightin’s got a solid seven innings from fifth starter Joe Blanton and enough hitting, including two home runs, to put away the Miami Marlins and even their record at 3-3.
Both Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton both went long. But it was Blanton who was an eye-opener. It was his first start of the season and a shaky outing would have only added to the mounting concern about the Phils.
But Blanton put those fears to rest by scattering three hits and walking just one, surrendering one run over seven innings.

Philly fans can warm up their remotes again for tonight. All three teams will be in action. The Phils will kick off a weekend set vs. the hated New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park, while the Flyers and Penguins face off in Game 2 of their opening round playoff matchup, and the Sixers host the Nets at the Wells Fargo Center.
