Mets sweep Phillies, extend winning streak to 7 in game with play at the plate and balk that wasn’t                
                
                    Sometimes the short, soft hits make the big difference. His playing time limited this season, Starling Marte stepped to the plate with the chance to give the New York Mets a 4-3, 10-inning win Wednesday, a three-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, an unbeaten homestand and a five-game NL East lead over their rival.
