The Most Utley
Chase Utley remains on fire, hitting his 21st home run of the season, a two-run shot off Bronson Arroyo in the first inning. He's homered in five straight games, and seven of his last eight. He's also one short of his total from last year in less than half the games.
Utley had a streak of homering in five straight games earlier this year. That's two pretty good streaks for one season. Mark McGwire had two streaks of four in 1998, and Bonds had two streaks of six in 2001.
Correction: I misread the game log earlier. I've corrected Utley's streak.

Today would be the fifth game in a row that Chase has homered, giving him two streaks of five games. It's also 7 homers in the last eight games.
