Clutch and not clutch

The difference between the Mets and Phillies is in how they react to pressure. With the game on the line and two on in the 10th, the Phillies' Jack Taschner get Carlos Beltran to hit into a double play. For the Mets in the bottom half of the inning, Sean Green gives up a hit, hits a batter and issues two walks — four baserunners, three bases, do the math. Phillies score. Game over.
