May 29, 2012 Phillies 4, Mets 1

No problem from the very first batter when Jimmy Rollins leads off the game with his 5th homerun of the season. Hunter Pence adds a homer of his own in that first inning to entend the lead to 2-0, and that proves to be enough. Joe Blanton is solid on the mound, going almost 7 innings and adding in a single at the plate for good measure. The Nationals won too, so the Phils and Nats basically remain in a dead heat for the division lead.
