That makes seven sweeps in eight Wild Card Series during the first two years of the expanded playoff structure.
Texas, Minnesota, Arizona and Philadelphia finished off postseason sweeps Wednesday as all four best-of-three Wild Card Series ended in two games.

Two days into the playoffs, they were quickly dispatched for the third straight year with a 7-1 loss to Texas. Meanwhile, manager Torey Lovullo said Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy strained his oblique while taking batting practice Tuesday and is weeks from being healthy enough to play.
