pushing Philadelphia into the NLCS for the first time in 15 years.

Blanton gave up one run in six innings, allowing five hits while striking out seven and walking none in the Phillies' 6-2 victory over the Brewers in Game 4 of the NLDS, giving them a 3-1 series victory. Blanton got an offensive lift from Pat Burrell, Jimmy Rollins and Jayson Werth, who all homered.

Burrell, who has not always been embraced by Phillies fans, swung the biggest bat, going 3-for-4 with two homers and four RBIs.

The Phillies open the NLCS at home Thursday against Joe Torre's Dodgers.

The Phillies and Dodgers should be a good series.
