In their first trip to the postseason since 2011, the Arizona Diamondbacks edged past the Colorado Rockies in a thrilling National League Wild Card Game at Chase Field. The Diamondbacks are now on to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the best-of-five NL Division Series.
The matchup is one that’s long been anticipated between the top two teams in the NL West. Although Arizona once sat atop the division standings this season, they ultimately were unable to unseat the Dodgers as NL West champions.
For as much excitement that came with the Diamondbacks living to see another game in October, it’s now clouded with some controversy.
