Major League Baseball announced a stunner of a suspension Sunday night, banging Utley for two games for what MLB chief baseball officer Torre deemed to be a violation of Rule 5.09 (a)(13), which, as Torre put it in a press release, "is designed to protect fielders from precisely this type of rolling block that occurs away from the base." Utley, however, is appealing the ruling, and the appeal process is expected to be expedited in advance of Game 3 on Monday night at Citi Field (8:30 p.m. ET. on TBS).
