The Arizona Diamondbacks are off to their first NLCS since 2007 after sweeping the 100-win Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series on Wednesday.
March Madness isn't the only time of year when there are huge upsets. The Arizona Diamondbacks came into the NLDS as huge underdogs against their division rivals - they didn't care one bit. The D-Backs swept the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday after winning Game 3, 4-2.
In the third inning, the Diamondbacks scored four runs, all on solo homers. Geraldo Perdomo, Ketel Marte, Christian Walker, and Gabriel Moreno each went deep, with the latter two going back-to-back with two outs in the frame. Brandon Pfaadt got the start and had a rather short leash - he was yanked after allowing just two hits in 4.1 innings, but he kept one of the best offenses in baseball scoreless. But the bullpen didn't keep things easy.
This is Arizona's first trip to the NLCS since 2007 in which they lost to the Colorado Rockies. It's now the second straight year Los Angeles has lost in the NLDS - they were upset last year after winning 111 games. This year, they won 100. This is the Dodgers' fifth NLDS exit since 2014, and third in which came from a regular season of at least 100 wins.
The D-Backs await the winner of the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves - Philly leads that series, 2-1, and has a chance to advance on Thursday.
