  "account": "Chris Sale delivered a dominant performance, striking out 11 batters in a five-hit shutout while the Atlanta Braves secured a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The shutout marked Sale's fourth double-digit strikeout game of the season and the 95th of his career, placing him seventh all-time in that category. With a sellout crowd of 39,650 fans, Braves manager Walt Weiss maintained faith in Sale, despite Freddie Freeman leading off the ninth inning with a single. The Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Dodgers, extending their season series lead to 5-1.",
