  "account": "Milwaukee Brewers will start pitcher Dustin May in Game 3 of the NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres, despite May's struggles this season. The decision comes after Milwaukee acquired May from St. Louis at the trade deadline. May, who was 1-1 with a 1.23 ERA in three starts against the Padres this year, will face right-hander Nick Pivetta. Pivetta, who spent much of the season on the injured list with an elbow issue, returned and posted a 1.45 ERA in four September appearances. Pivetta has a 2.86 ERA in five career playoff appearances, including three starts. The Brewers and Padres are set to face off in the best-of-five series with Milwaukee leading 1-0 heading into Game 2.",
