Chase Utley's aggresive base running pays off for Dodgers

LOS ANGELES -- Chase Utley played an integral role in the Dodgers' 4-1 win over the Cubs on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, the club's fourth straight win.

Utley drove in the Dodgers' first run with an RBI triple in the third inning, then he scored the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, thanks to a wild pitch and a throwing error by Miguel Montero.

"Chase, obviously with the big hit, just the way he ran the bases might have set the tone for us tonight," manager Don Mattingly said after the game.
