Dodgers Sweep D'Backs to Advance to NLCS

Whatever problems the Los Angeles Dodgers had with the Arizona Diamondbacks in September were not evident as October as the Dodgers beat the D'Backs 3-1 last night to sweep the NLDS. Yu Darvish outpitched Zack Greinke as Cody Bellinger and Austin Barnes both homered.

The D'Backs only had the lead in the series for three innings in Game 2. Otherwise the Dodgers simply over matched and overwhelmed them. However, the D'Backs will be back.

The Dodgers will face the winner of the NLDS match up between the Washington Nationals and the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have a 2-1 series lead and could clinch it early this evening resulting in a rematch of last year's NLCS. However, if the Nats prevail it will force a deciding Game 5 on Thursday in D.C.
