Chase Utley knew his hitting streak would end sooner or later. He just would have preferred later.
Utley went 0-for-5 Friday night in Philadelphia's 5-3 victory over the Mets, ending a 35-game hitting streak that tied him for 10th longest in major league history.
Utley's hitless night overshadowed home runs by David Dellucci and Ryan Howard that carried the Phillies to their fourth straight win and ninth in the last 11 games.
