The completion of the play-in rounds had more of the same from the first 20 series that was in the original post:

Two series featured MVPs from the losing team
Two series featured highlight was a bench clearing brawl
2007 San Francisco Giant SP Matt Cain threw a 1-hit SO in G1, but his team lost the only series to a Tampa Bay Devil Ray team during the play-in round (TBR lost 7 of 8 series)
Still no MVP from a pitcher
Still no sweep from a team
2000 Minnesota Twins went down 3-0 and were down 9-8 in B9, two outs, no one on in G4 of the series - yup, they came back to win in seven

However, the Round 1 series got off to a March Madness type of start. Series #2 featured the 2000 St. Louis Cardinals (95-67) hosting the 2006 Washington Nationals (71-91).
The play-in winning Nats not only continued their winning ways they took out the first playoff team, 4 games to 2. The Nats survived two SPs with ERAs above 6 and rode MVP Alfonso Soriano to the series win.
