July 15 -- UTLEY'S NIGHT DONE

NEW YORK -- Chase Utley has been replaced by Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla in the sixth inning, spelling an end to Utley's third career All-Star appearance. Utley, by the way, finished 1-for-3 with a sixth-inning single that moved Hanley Ramirez to third base. Ramirez eventually scored on a sacrifice fly to give the NL a 2-0 lead.

If the NL holds the lead, look for Brad Lidge to pitch the ninth. Remember: The NL hasn't won an All-Star Game since 1996 at the Vet.
