$articles = new Articles();
$amount = 5;
$blogArticles = $articles->getBlogArticles( $yourBlogId, -1, $amount, 
POST_STATUS_PUBLISHED );

Obviously, SummaryStats was the wrong place to look at... This class 
implements methods for retrieving data related to all blogs. If all you 
need is information about one blog, use Articles instead.

As I said above, you already have Articles::getBlogArticles(). Or take 
a look at the Articles class, you'll probably find there every single 
methods you could ever think of...
