Analysis:
Utley will take a seat with southpaw Gio Gonzalez on the mound for the Nationals, against whom he is 3-for-21 lifetime. The veteran second baseman has been able to raise his batting average 40 points over a recent seven-game hitting streak, but is still slashing a miserable .174/.250/.297 on the year.
