Nationals Dominate, Sweep Wildcard Series
After their 5-3 win today at Nationals Park over the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Washington Nationals will advance to the League Divisional Series. Washington won the series by a 2-0 margin.

Leading the way for the Nationals was first baseman Greg Bird, who had a spectacular series and was named MVP.

"I don't play differently in the regular season or playoffs. I just go out and do my best every game," he said. "It's certainly nice to play in the big game, but you can't let it get to your head and change your focus."

The Washington Nationals will play against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the next round. Pittsburgh had a bye in the Wildcard Series. The League Divisional Series is scheduled to begin on October 2nd , 2026.
