On September 30, the Diamondbacks clinched a playoff spot and they faced the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLWCS. They upset the Brewers, sweeping them in two games to advance to the NLDS where they faced the Los Angeles Dodgers. They swept the heavily favored Dodgers in three games to advance to the NLCS for the first time since 2007.
