What a difference an Utley makes. No Chase Utley did not tear the cover off the ball in his long awaited return to Phils lineup, in fact he went o for 5, but his presence alone was enough to propel his teammates to 10 runs on 14 hits, including 3 homers. Meanwhile, Cole Hamels allowed just 3 runs on 5 hits while striking out 4 en route to his 6th win of the season. Placido Polanco got things started with a 2 run blast in the 1st inning. Later, Raul Ibanez, John Mayberry Jr., and Cole Hamels each slapped 3 RBI singles, and Jimmy Rollins slugged a 3 run homer in a 7 run 3rd inning. Finally in the 4th inning Ibanez crushed a solo homer. From there Hamels cruised through the next 2 innings, and Micheal Stutes, Antonio Bastardo, and Danys Baez combined for 3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen to wrap up the 10-3 win.
