  "account": "Alec Bohm's decisive two-out home run in the 10th inning propelled the Philadelphia Phillies to a hard-fought 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves in their National League Wild Card Series. The Phillies rebounded from a 3-1 deficit in the seventh inning, with back-to-back homers from Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper. Harper's homer came after a crucial fielding error by Drake Baldwin, who misplayed Alec Bohm's two-out shot, allowing Sean Murphy to score.\n\nAndrew Painter, a starter during the regular season, saved the Phillies' bullpen with three scoreless innings and struck out Dominic Smith in the 10th, sealing the win with an ABS challenge. Bohm delivered his third career postseason home run, a towering 357-foot shot to right field, off Didier Fuentes. The Phillies will now look to continue their postseason dominance over the Braves in Thursday's decisive Game 3. In the seventh inning, Drake Baldwin's double ricocheted off Harper's glove, driving in Sean Murphy and giving Atlanta a 2-1 lead. Harper, who recently resumed playing outfield after a brief stint in the infield, displayed poor judgment in chasing the ball and was not charged with an error. Matt Olson added a sacrifice fly in the inning.\n\nAtlanta allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings pitched by Tyler Mahle, while Cristopher Sánchez gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings for Philadelphia, tossing a career-high 116 pitches. Painter's 0-2 fastball to Smith was initially called a strike before a robo-ump challenge confirmed it was a ball. Bohm's home run marked his third postseason homer and extended the Phillies' postseason streak over the Braves to four games, including victories in the 1993 NLCS, 2022 and 2023 NLDS.",
