Utley lets play do talking in field, on bases in win

ATLANTA -- Chase Utley will never make the All-Interview Team. It's about the only team that wouldn't welcome him.

Then, again, Utley has always believed that actions speak louder than words. It's how the 37-year-old second baseman has starred for 13-plus Major League seasons.

His actions spoke volumes Wednesday night, as the Dodgers rallied from three runs down to earn a 5-3, 10-inning win over the Braves at Turner Field.

"He's a baseball player, and he played a complete baseball game," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

Utley completely threw Braves reliever Jason Grilli off his game in the 10th inning, using every bit of his baseball guile and a tip from first-base coach George Lombard.
