Sandy Alcantara bounced back from the worst start of his career with a gem that led the Marlins to a 6-0 series-clinching win over the Phillies on Thursday.
The Marlins got out to an early lead with a Miguel Rojas home run off David Hale in the 3rd inning. Hale got the start after Vince Velasquez was scratched about 20 minutes before game time and provided three solid innings of work, allowing just the one run on Rojas’s round tripper.
Garrett Cooper then expanded on that lead with a two-run blast off Matt Moore in the 4th that landed in the 2nd deck in left field at Citizens Bank Park.
