On September 24, the Diamondbacks clinched a Wild Card berth with losses by the Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals. They also clinched home field for the Wild Card game after a 3–2 walk-off victory over the Miami Marlins. This marked the first trip to the playoffs for the Diamondbacks since 2011. In the NLWC Game, they defeated the Colorado Rockies to advance the NLDS against the division rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The Diamondbacks were then swept by the Dodgers in three games, ending their postseason run.
During their pre-season spring training, the Diamondbacks participated in the Cactus League, finishing with a 15–15 win–loss record.[1] They also played two tied games that were not included in the standings.[2]
Facing the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 4, Diamondbacks outfielder J. D. Martinez became the 18th player in MLB history to hit four home runs in a game. This performance meant that the Diamondbacks became the first team ever to have had a 20-strikeout game in nine innings (Randy Johnson, 2001), a perfect game (Johnson again, 2004) and a four-homer game (Martinez).[3]

Making it to the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the Diamondbacks played their first series as a Wild Card team by playing against the Colorado Rockies on October 4, 2017. That night, Archie Bradley became the first relief pitcher and sixth pitcher in MLB history to record a triple in a postseason game. The play was considered a major highlight in their first Wild Card game in franchise history, winning 11–8 that night at home. The Diamondbacks also became the first team to record 4 triples in a single playoff game since the Boston Americans in the 1903 World Series. They subsequently lost to the Dodgers in the NLDS.
