  "account": "In a thrilling finish on Friday night, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Tommy Edman secured a walk-off win for his team, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4. Edman's decisive single in the 10th inning, driven home by pinch-runner Kiké Hernández from third base, sealed the victory for the Dodgers. This marked the first time in the majors this season that a team had maintained an undefeated record in extra innings.\n\nPittsburgh's Oneil Cruz added to the drama by hitting a two-run homer in the eighth inning, tying the score at 4-4. Mookie Betts contributed significantly with a two-run single in the third inning, putting the Dodgers ahead 4-2. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers' starter, displayed strong performances, allowing two runs and five hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out nine. He was replaced after the tying runs came aboard in the seventh inning.\n\nReliever Brock Stewart played a crucial role by getting the final out in the seventh, ensuring no further damage was done. Despite a leadoff double by Jake Mangum and relief pitcher Jake Mangum's subsequent hit, the Pirates' Luke Bachar failed to capitalize on the opportunity, allowing the Dodgers to maintain their lead.",
