Utley ties league lead
HBPs of note: July 19, 2009
Chase Utley got hit by another pitch yesterday, putting himself back into a tie for the Major League lead this season, and driving in a run in the process. Utley has been hit 14 times this season, tied with Chase Utley for the season lead, and he's now been hit 97 times in his career. Among those, he has now been plunked 3 times with the bases loaded. Andrew Miller threw the ball that hit Utley, and while he's only hit 15 batters in his career, he has now hit Utley twice.
The pitching side of the HBP race also saw some action yesterday, as Joba Chamberlain moved into a tie for the league lead with David Bush. They've both hit 10 batters this season. Chamberlain became the first Yankee since Randy Johnson in 2006 to hit 10 batters in a season.
Melvin Mora got his for the 105th time in his career, which ties him with Dan Brouthers for 58th place on the all time list. If he were in 58th place on the all time homers list he'd be around 381 homers and tied with Albert Belle, but he's not in 58th place on that list.
