  "account": "The Cincinnati Reds suffered a late-inning defeat to the Miami Marlins in their season finale, extending their losing streak against the Marlins to two losses in the last three series. This series conclusion means that the Reds will not secure the tiebreaker if the teams finish with identical records for a wild-card playoff berth. The Reds' recent struggles are primarily attributed to Nick Lodolo's chronic blister issues and the defensive errors that plagued their bullpen and defense in crucial moments. The team now looks to address these problems and build on the promising performances of players like rookie Julian Garcia, whose solid pitching in Sunday's game showcased his potential.",
  "summary": "Cincinnati Reds starter Nick Lodolo pitched 5 scoreless innings in his second start back from his later IL stint for recurring blister issues.",
