Chase Utley gets key pinch-hit double in win
by Kerry Kauffman | Sun, Aug 9th 7:28pm EDT
The Phillies completed a sweep of the Padres with a 5-3 win on Sunday. Chase Utley, who was 3-for-9 in the first two games of the series, had the day off. But he came to the plate in the eighth inning and belted a two-run double into the right field corner. Utley has three doubles in his last two games.
Fantasy Impact:
Utley raised his batting average to .185 on the season. His on-base percentage and slugging percentage are still both below .300, but he's swinging the bat quite well since coming off the DL. Owners may want to take a chance on Utley as a backup and perhaps starter down the stretch, should he stay hot.
