"The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card round and advanced to the National League Division Series for a highly-anticipated matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies finished with the second-best record in the NL this season at 96-66 and clinched a first-round bye into NLDS. They are facing the Dodgers for the sixth time in MLB postseason history and its the first meeting between the teams since the 2009 NL Championship Series."
"The Dodgers and Phillies met for the first time during the regular season in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park from April 4-6. The series opener featured a pitchers' duel between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Jesús Luzardo, but the Phillies were able to scratch out three runs and take a lead into the ninth inning. Tommy Edman brought the Dodgers close with a two-run homer, but the Phillies ultimately held on for a 3-2 win."
