Analysis: Blanton owns a 2.95 ERA over his last three starts so he is pitching well, but the Angels' offense has been horrendous thanks to high-priced disappointments like Albert Pujols.

Analysis: Blanton's first win came in his ninth start this season, the longest it's taken him to notch a victory since he won in his 11th start in his first full season in 2005.

Analysis: Winless in eight starts this season, Blanton dropped to 0-7 with a 6.46 ERA and 1.87 WHIP. It's the first time in the Angels' 53-year history that they have been on the losing end in all of a pitcher's first eight starts in a season. The last time one of their pitchers was winless in his first eight starts was 1997, when lefty Matt Perisho started eight times as a rookie and was 0-2. The Angels were 4-4 in those games.

Analysis: It was by far Blanton's best outing of the season, but he was outdone by Chris Tillman's eight shutout innings, moving Blanton to 0-5 this year.
