Another long staple has been moved out of his normal spot in the batting order. Chase Utley, in a prolongued slump and batting just .118, continued to bat third for the Phillies despite his struggles. Today, will change.
Meghan Montemurro of the Delaware News Journal reports:
Chase Utley is batting 6th in the lineup tonight for the first time since April 16, 2005. #Phillies
