The Diamondbacks are returning to the NLCS for the first time since 2007. They beat the Dodgers 4-2. It completed the sweep of the Dodgers, and the Diamondbacks were working from both sides of the plate. They combined for 19 runs over three games while only allowing 6.

Here are some fan reactions from this crazy game.
The only excitement of this game came in the 3rd inning. The Diamondbacks hit four home runs in one inning. Giving them a 4-0 lead early in the game.
Count 'em!
The @Dbacks are the first team in MLB history to hit FOUR homers in a single #Postseason inning! pic.twitter.com/gW89bANgtu

The DBacks didn't just break a record; they set one. Four homers in one inning? That's a postseason first, and it's going to be a tough act to follow! ⚾️????

The Diamondbacks’ final home run in the inning came from Gabriel Moreno, who had a homer called back the pitch before he hit his.
That's 3 Home Runs in 5 playoff games for Gabriel Moreno. Nice trade Ross Atkins #BlueJays

Gabriel Moreno really said ball don’t lie ????

Gabriel Moreno hitting a foul ball that required a replay review to prove it wasn’t a homer and then hitting the ball to space on literally the next pitch was quite a moment.

Brandon Pfaadt got the start for the D’backs and was absolutely spectacular. He went 4.1 innings only allowing 2 hits and no ERs.

Obviously the four homers were huge, but Brandon Pfaadt pitched the game of his life tonight. Shoutout to him. #EmbraceTheChaos

Brandon Pfaadt started against one of the best lineups in baseball, in a series clinching game, and only gave up 2 hits. I’d say that’s pretty good for a Rookie IMO #ICYMI

Lance Lynn took the loss for the Dodgers, and he was bad. The big-league home-run leader lived up to that title.

The Dodgers didn't have anybody better than Lance Lynn to go to though? Dude gave up 44 home runs this year. I didn't even realize that till now. So I guess that 3rd inning isn't a surprise. #Postseason

Paul Sewald got the save for the D’backs and sent them to the NLCS with a great 9th inning.
I’m all in on this Diamondbacks team

Dodgers getting swept?! When was the last time we saw that? Diamondbacks have surprised me this postseason. Can't wait to see how they do in the #NLCS

I still can’t believe the DIAMONDBACKS made the NLCS over the Dodgers and Padres in the NL West. Bravo https://t.co/ODx853J7u6 pic.twitter.com/m8GKwueACY

The Diamondbacks won’t have to play again for 5 days. They will play against either the Braves or the Phillies on Monday.
