Those of you staying up late (or living out west), keep your eye on Joe Blanton tonight. He's retried twelve straight batters to start the game. He's struck out three and has thrown only 42 pitches. The Athletics lead the Mets 1-0, but have the bases loaded with 1 out in the fourth.

Update: Ellis doubles in two. It's three nothing and the A's have two men in scoring position.

Update: Blanton gives up a hit with two outs in the fifth. The shutout is still in order.
