Blanco, Lamb rally D-backs to 5-4 win over Phillies

PHILADELPHIA — Gregor Blanco wants everyone to take notice when he hits a rare home run.

Blanco hit a tying two-run homer in the seventh and Jake Lamb drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly later in the inning to rally the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.

According to MLB StatCast, Blanco's 23rd career homer — and second this season — against Aaron Nola (3-5) had an estimated distance of 424 feet into the concourse in right field.

"I hit one like that in Miami a couple years ago off Jose Fernandez that went into the upper deck," Blanco said.
