Chase Utley Makes Ridiculous Catch To Preserve Perfect Game
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Chase Utley, you are still the man.
Utley, who is now 38-years-old, made this ridiculous fully extended diving catch in the eighth inning of the Dodgers' game against the Pirates on Wednesday, preserving a perfect game for Rich Hill.

Rich Hill would go on to lose his perfect game, but pitch nine no-hit innings. But in the 10th, he allowed a walk-off home run and the Dodgers amazingly lost the game 1-0.

It is the first time in Major League Baseball history that a no-hitter was broken up by a walk-off home run.
