Poor production is suddenly becoming a concern for the Philadelphia Phillies and their talent-laden lineup. Fortunately for Joe Blanton, he has never needed much support when facing the New York Mets. After being shut out for the second time in three games, the Phillies hope Blanton can continue his success against the Mets on Wednesday night in New York. Though it has one of the majors’ top lineups, NL East-leading Philadelphia has been held to three runs or fewer in five of its last seven games. The Phillies have lost three straight, including a 5-0 loss to Boston on Saturday night in which Daisuke Matsuzaka nearly threw a no-hitter. Three days later, Philadelphia stranded 13 runners as it lost 8-0 in the opener of a three-game series with division rival New York. Phillies leadoff hitter Shane Victorino is 2 for 22 over his last six games, dropping his average from .274 to .253, and slugger Ryan Howard was 2 for 12 in four contests before collecting two hits against New York.

But the Phillies have also had their share of problems on the mound during their skid, posting a 6.58 ERA despite surrendering one home run. Blanton has had a tough start to the season, but he’s 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA in four starts versus the Mets despite getting a total of eight runs of support over 28 1-3 innings. Blanton did not receive a decision in his best start of the year Thursday, surrendering three runs in seven innings of a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander entered the game with a 5.49 ERA in three outings after spending the first month of the season on the disabled list. He’s facing a Mets lineup that is hitting its stride, scoring 19 runs during a three-game winning streak. Still, New York remains in last place, four games behind Philadelphia. The Mets are coming off one of their best all-around performances this season, once again getting strong performances from Jason Bay and Jose Reyes.
