Sewell defeated Surprise 5-2 in the wild card game, with Ohtani pitching 7 strong innings for the win.
Three key plays in the game were an Adames error that opened the door for an early 3-run inning by Sewell, a Taylor Trammell homer that cut the lead to 3-2, and an Adam Duvall homer that gave Sewell's bullpen some insurance runs they didn't end up needing. Brogdon and Iglesias each pitched one scoreless inning to close it out.
