Video: Chase Utley Returns to the Phillies Lineup in Rout of Reds

One Patch editor was at Citizens Bank Park for the beloved Philadelphia second baseman's 2011 debut.

The cheering of offense-starved Phillies fans Monday evening drowned out the season's first playing of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," the at-bat music for Phils 2B Chase Utley, who made his 2011 debut after sitting out with injuries since spring training.

Utley flied out in his first at-bat to begin an 0-for-5 night, but every other Phillie starter got at least one hit and three of them hit home runs as the home team routed the Cincinnati Reds, 10-3.

The attendance of 45,841 was the largest for any regular-season game since the park opened in 2004.
