Mets go up 2-0 on homers by Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto in the 2nd as Noah Syndergaard starts out strong striking out 9 over 6 and 1/3rd innings. After he gives up a walk and a single with one out in the 7th, Bartolo Colon comes in, induces a ground ball and...
NY Post ‘Dirty’ Utley take-out slide fractures Ruben Tejada’s leg: "With one out and runner on first and third — Utley was on first via a pinch-hit single that ended Noah Syndergaard’s night and brought on Bartolo Colon — Howie Kendrick sent a smash toward the middle. Second baseman Daniel Murphy gloved the ball and sent an off-balanced — and high — flip to Tejada who caught the ball and spun. Utley came in late to the right of the base and took out Tejada. Utley hit the back of Tejada’s right leg, but also took a shot to the head from Tejada’s left knee. Tejada was carted off the field with his right leg in an inflatable cast for his fractured right fibula."
NY Post Utley’s dirty take-out slide dooms Mets as Dodgers even series: "Utley, who tormented the Mets for the last decade-plus in a Phillies uniform, was hell-bent on breaking up a double play and ensuring the tying run would score on Howie Kendrick’s slow grounder; Utley waited until he was nearly on top of second base to begin his takeout slide on Tejada. The run scored, and only adding to the Mets’ misery, Utley was ruled safe at second base after the Dodgers challenged the call that Tejada had touched the bag. Though “neighborhood” calls on double plays at second base aren’t reviewable, the umpires on the field determined it could be examined as a force play, according to MLB vice president of operations Joe Torre, because Tejada had no shot at the double play. Utley never touched the base, but according to Torre he wasn’t required to because he had been called out before the play was overturned."
Baseball Reference: The Mets are cruising along with a 2 - 1 lead behind rookie Noah Syndergaard in the 7th inning of Game 2 of the NLDS when Chase Utley barrels into SS Ruben Tejada to break up a potential inning-ending double play. He not only succeeds, but also breaks Tejada's leg in the process while the Mets vainly argue for an interference call. Major League Baseball will hand Utley a two-game suspension for his unnecessarily violent slide (later overturned), but in the meantime, Los Angeles takes advantage of the controversial play to score four runs in the inning and ends up a 5 - 2 winner, evening the series.

Lost in the “Utley Slide Game” is the fact that in his first postseason at bat Michael Conforto hit a LASER homer off of the Cy Young runner up, Zack Greinke. #ExtendConforto pic.twitter.com/we3BizBpKL

Where is he?
I still have a lead pipe with his name on it.
