Utley Does Get the Hit

Chase Utley reaches on a failed fielder's choice in the 8th inning. That doesn't count as a hit, so he's 0 for 5. There's only one out in the 8th, however, and the way the Phillies are hitting tonight, they may very well give Chase another chance. They've answered the Cardinals four runs in the bottom of the seventh with five of their own. A sac fly makes it 13-7 Phillies.

Update: Okay, the box score just changed, and he now has a hit. I thought the scoring was strange. When I first saw the play, I thought he beat out an infield hit. He's at 34.

I agree Jason. It's almost as if there isn't a good rule for this instance. In the end I think its a hit.

Looks like he got a definitely legit hit in the ninth anyway, so it is sort of a moot point.
