NEW YORK -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 inning to put Philadelphia ahead 1-0.
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.
