Utley hit a solo home run and walked twice in a 2-for-3 game Tuesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Utley was hitting just .243/.309/.378 with one home run in 20 September games before the blast. Still, the Dodgers like him at the top of their lineup against right-handed pitchers like Tuesday's opponent Paul Clemens. Expect Charlie Culberson to keep getting at-bats in Utley's stead against lefties.
