  "account": "In Game 3 of the National League Division Series, the Milwaukee Brewers fell short in a close, hard-fought battle against the San Diego Padres, losing 4-3 and dropping their lead in the series to 2-1. The contest started off intense, with Jackson Chourio hitting a leadoff homer for San Diego, but Milwaukee's Jackson Merrill made an impressive sliding catch on the warning track to negate the extra bases. The Brewers struggled with a high pitch count, with Jake Bauers and William Contreras both striking out. In the top of the fourth, Chourio managed to tie the game with a homer, but the Padres quickly took the lead and never relinquished it. Star pitcher Nick Pivetta made several key pitches to keep the Padres ahead, including a walk to Manny Machado and a forced out at second. The Brewers mounted an impressive rally in the bottom of the inning, but Mitchell's inability to drive in the go-ahead run proved to be the difference.",
