Mets center fielder Angel Pagan initiates the tenth triple play in franchise history when he snags Cristian Guzman's sinking liner with first and second base occupied. After making the stunning catch that surprises both of Washington's baserunners, the outfielder overthrows the infield, but catcher Henry Blanco takes the errant toss and throws the ball to Jose Reyes at second base to double off Livan Hernandez, and then the shortstop relays the ball to first baseman Ike Davis to triple up Nyjer Morgan, making it the first 9-2-6-3 triple killing in major league history.
