The third game really was different. Nola gave Philadelphia seven innings on 100 pitches and allowed one run, while Alcántara went six on 97 and allowed three. That left the Phillies needing only two relief innings in a 4-1 win, which is a much cleaner workload path than the first two one-run games. I would call it a sweep, but not three copies of the same kind of dominance. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/823424
