Authentic Philadelphia Eagles Jersey . Shane Victorino hit a solo home run while Chase Utley also drove in a run for the Phillies, who have won eight of their last nine and moved a half-game ahead of New York, which lost to Atlanta, 4-2, for first place in the NL East. "To say that were not looking at the scoreboard is just not true," said Phillies closer Brad Lidge, who remained perfect in save opportunities this season as he picked up his 39th save in as many chances by throwing a scoreless ninth. "Bottom line is we got to take care of our business right now and if we do, well be fine," said Lidge. "With scoreboard watching, its kind of a luxury if the other teams lose." Joe Blanton (3-0) gave up just two runs on four hits with a season-high nine strikeouts. John Baker hit a two-run double while Alfredo Amezaga went 3-for-3 with a run scored for the Marlins, who were riding a franchise-high nine-game winning streak coming into the game. Anibal Sanchez (2-5) picked up the loss by giving up three runs -- two earned -- on four hits in 5 2/3 innings of work for Florida, which is five games behind New York for the NL wild card. "Obviously when we needed the win, we didnt win," said Marlins outfielder Josh Willingham. "He (Blanton) pitched well, located the ball real well on us, kept us off speed. Sanchy (Sanchez) kept us in the game. We had some chances in the end but didnt get it done." The Phillies got on the board in the third inning thanks to a pair of errors. Carlos Ruiz led off with a grounder to third that Jorge Cantu fielded, but his throw to first went wild. Blanton then laid down a bunt that Sanchez fielded, but he threw the ball over the head of Mike Jacobs to put runners at the corners. After Jimmy Rollins looked at strike three, Utley punched a single to right that brought home Ruiz for a 1-0 lead. Florida answered in the bottom of the inning. Amezaga led off with a single and Cameron Maybin later hit a single. Baker then followed with a double to right to chase home both runners for a 2-1 lead. Victorino responded in the fourth by hitting a 1-0 pitch into the right-field seats to tie the contest. Philadelphia then grabbed the lead in the sixth inning. Back-to-back one-out walks to Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell were followed by a strikeout from Victorino. Dobbs then hit a bloop single to left and Howard crossed the plate for a 3-2 lead. Sanchez was pulled and the Phils loaded the bases after Logan Kensing issued a walk to Ruiz, but Mark Hendrickson took the mound and got Tadahito Iguchi to fly out. Chad Durbin gave up a two-out walk to Willingham in the sixth, but Ruiz picked him off first to end the inning. Durbin stayed on to pitch the seventh and got the first out, but then gave up a single to Amezaga and J.C. Romero took the mound. Paul Lo Duca worked a pinch-hit walk, but Romero struck out Maybin and Baker to protect the one-run lead. Things got scary for Philadelphia in the eighth. Ryan Madson took the hill and immediately got into trouble as Cantu led off with a single and moved to third on Jacobs double. Dan Uggla then hit a chopper to third that Dobbs fielded on the run and threw out Cantu at home. Willingham then grounded out to short and Cody Ross struck out swinging to end the frame. Lidge was called upon in the ninth to close out the game and walked Amezaga to start things. Lidge then got pinch-hitter Dallas McPherson to strike out, but on the third strike Amezaga stole second. Lidge then struck out Maybin with a high slider and followed by striking out Baker to finish the game.
