  "account": "Jordan Lawlar's two-run homer and career-high three RBIs propelled the Arizona Diamondbacks to a dominant 9-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. The 24-year-old right fielder delivered the first three-hit performance of his professional career while Geraldo Perdomo also contributed three hits. The D-backs' lead came early as Lawlar's two-run shot to left field in the second inning put the team on the board and set the tone for the game. Eduardo Rodriguez put together a stellar outing, tossing 5 2/3 strong innings and allowing only four hits and two walks while striking out four. The Arizona team's aggressive approach paid off as they scored at least one run in the first four innings, building a 6-0 lead by the fifth. The Reds, struggling with six losses in their last eight games, saw Nick Lodolo struggle mightily, yielding six runs on 10 hits and two walks over 3 1/3 innings. Reds' left fielder Michael Toglia had to leave the game in the first inning due to a dislocated right shoulder, making a diving catch on Geraldo Perdomo's fly ball but landing awkwardly on his shoulder and leaving the field with medical personnel. Arizona sends right-handed pitcher Michael Soroka (8-3, 2.93 ERA) to the mound for Saturday's game against the Reds.",
