I've been wondering about the last out of the 9th, where Beltran was out at third after the tying run scored.  I'd think you'd conservatively stop at 2nd in that situation. What actually happened on that play?

The first baseman cut-off the throw home and Beltran was caught in a run down.

It depends on how confident you are that the runner on 2nd can score.  When the first baseman cut-off the throw home, it guaranteed that the tying run scored.  If there's any uncertainty in Descalso being able to score, then getting caught in the run-down isn't a bad play.
