With Utley back one last time, Phillies and Dodgers turn in memorable series

Above all else, the Philadelphia Phillies-Los Angeles Dodgers series that took place between July 23 and July 25 of 2018 will be remembered for one thing: Chase Utley. Short of the two teams meeting in the postseason (which is entirely possible), the series was the final time that the Phillies franchise icon, set to retire at the conclusion season, played at Citizens Bank Park.

Prior to game one of the series, Utley got a standing ovation when his name was announced by Dan Baker in the starting lineup. He received a thunderous ovation when he came to the plate in the top of the second inning in the first game of the series.
