  "account": "In the final game of the Wild Card round, Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Alec Bohm secured a crucial victory for his team by hitting a game-winning solo home run in the 10th inning. This monumental moment came after Atlanta Braves reliever Didier Fuentes failed to secure the win, allowing Philadelphia to close out the series. The loss forces Atlanta into an elimination game, as historical data shows that teams leading 1-0 in the best-of-three series win 88% of the time. The Braves' bullpen issues have been a recurring problem throughout the playoffs, with their performance ultimately contributing to their failed attempt to sweep the Phillies. With just one day left to regroup and prepare for the decisive Game 3, the Braves now face a daunting challenge to turn things around and keep their season alive.",
  "summary": "The Braves held a 2-run lead in the 8th, but a single homer by Alec Bohm in the 10th erased it all. See how the bullpen collapsed.",
