Red-Hot Utley Scorches Mets
Washington second baseman Chase Utley could do no wrong in today's 10-1 win over the Mets as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Mets skipper Eddie Alsen said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Utley agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Chase Utley doubled in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a two-run double in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 7th and hit a two-run double in the 8th.

In 54 games this season Utley has compiled a .272 batting average with 49 hits and 3 home runs. He has also scored 28 times and knocked in 32 runs.
