Blanco's defense a key in Phillies' victory

PHILADELPHIA -- Andres Blanco just wants to be like his friends.

Blanco has played in a little more than half of the Phillies' games this season, filling in as a first baseman, a second baseman, a third baseman and a shortstop, but he's barely averaging more than half an at-bat per appearance. So when a day like Wednesday's 5-4, 10-inning win comes around where Blanco sees his name on the lineup card, his main objective is to make his mark on a game the same way his teammates do every day.

"Our starter [Adam] Morgan throws a great game," Blanco said.
