Chase Utley has set a postseason record by reaching base in 26 straight games. The Philadelphia Phillies' All-Star second baseman walked against New York Yankees starter CC Sabathia in the first inning of Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday night. Utley homered in the third and sixth innings to put Philadelphia ahead 2-0. Utley went 0 for 4 in his first playoff game in 2007. He has since reached base safely via a hit or walk in every postseason game he has played. Baltimore's Boog Powell held the record of 25 straight games from 1966-71.
