Phils walk off to win

With two out in the eighth inning of the Phillies' 6-5 win yesterday, New York's Carlos Beltran singled to right field. Omir Santos rushed home from second, ready to break a 5-5 tie and give the Mets a late lead.While walk-off hits dominate headlines and inspire platitudes, the Phils' defense has quietly enabled them to keep games close and allow for comebacks. Yesterday's win was a striking example.
