  "account": "San Diego Padres' Manny Machado drove in three runs with a powerful homer, leading the team to a 10-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The win clinched the No. 4 seed in the National League playoffs for the Padres, who will host the fifth-seeded Chicago Cubs in a best-of-three Wild Card Series starting Tuesday. The Padres' successful campaign earned them their third consecutive 90-win season and seventh in team history. The Diamondbacks, however, remain in contention for the NL’s third wild-card spot, currently trailing Philadelphia by one game going into Sunday’s season finales.",
