2017 National League Division Series
The 2017 National League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series on the National League side in Major League Baseball’s 2017 postseason to determine the participating teams of the 2017 National League Championship Series. The three divisional winners (seeded 1–3) and a fourth team—the winner of a one-game Wild Card playoff— played in two series.
These matchups were:
The Dodgers would go on to defeat the Cubs in the NLCS, then lose the 2017 World Series to the American League champion Houston Astros.
For the first time, Major League Baseball sold presenting sponsorships to all of its postseason series; T-Mobile US acquired presenting sponsorship to the NLDS, and thus the series was officially known as the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile.
Los Angeles won the series, 3–0.
Chicago won the series, 3–2.
This was the first postseason meeting between these two division rivals, and the 16th time that teams from Phoenix and Los Angeles met in a postseason in the four major North American sports leagues. The teams played each other 19 times during the regular season, with the Diamondbacks winning 11 of the games.
Clayton Kershaw started for the Dodgers and he struck out seven in 61⁄3 innings. He also allowed four home runs (to A. J. Pollock in the third, J. D. Martinez in the sixth, and Ketel Marte and Jeff Mathis in the seventh), the first National League pitcher to ever do so in a postseason game. The Dodgers got to Diamondbacks starter Taijuan Walker early, as Justin Turner followed a leadoff single and walk with a three-run home run. Later in the inning, Cody Bellinger singled and scored on Yasiel Puig's double. Walker was replaced after the first inning by Zack Godley, who pitched five innings of relief while allowing three more runs to score, all in the fourth when Corey Seager and Justin Turner hit back-to-back RBI singles after a leadoff single and walk, then an error loaded the bases before Puig's groundout scored another run. In the eighth, Austin Barnes hit a leadoff single off Andrew Chafin, who was relieved by Jimmie Sherfy. Seager's triple and Turner's single scored a run each to extend the Dodgers' lead to 9–4. Turner had five RBIs in the game, tying Pedro Guerrero (1981) and Davey Lopes (1978) for the Dodgers single game postseason record. Kenley Jansen allowed a run in the ninth on Jake Lamb's groundout with two on before getting David Peralta to line out to end the game as the Dodgers held on to win, 9–5.
