Up and Down Utley
Chase Utley became the first major league player to reach 20 home runs this season with a solo shot against the Marlins this afternoon. Utley in his second home run hot streak of the season:
| Chase Utley | Games | Home Runs |
| Through May 3rd | 31 | 13 |
| May 4th - May 24th | 20 | 1 |
| May 25th - June 1st | 7 | 6 |
In the middle slump, all Utley's batting stats suffered. He posted an OBA and a Slugging Percentage of .306. With the game tied at five in the seventh, Utley might get a chance to hit another today.
Update: The Phillies score two in the bottom of the seventh to take game 7-5 and move back into first place by 1/2 game over the Marlins.
