The Phillies took what could have been a demoralizing loss and turned it into a closer, still somewhat demoralizing loss in the first game of the post-Utley era.
I'm not saying Chase Utley would have hit a seven-run bomb at some point to make it all better, I'm just saying that the possibility of that happening is now definitely zero since he doesn't play for the team anymore. But hey, one thing to note is that this 9-7 loss was on its way to being an 8-1 loss until some interference by the Phillies offense.
