  "account": "At Atlanta's Truist Park, the Atlanta Braves secured a series win against the Colorado Rockies with a stellar pitching performance by Martin Perez. The game was sluggish, with the Rockies' bullpen and the Braves offense struggling to score. Martin Perez started strong, striking out six batters on 83 pitches, but later walked cleanup hitter Mauricio Dubon and allowed the first run of the game. Perez was solid overall, making the Rockies' bullpen effort crucial as he got the final two outs in the seventh to finish the inning without giving up a run. The offense faltered against the Rockies' bullpen, with the Braves failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Austin Riley's double-play and Ozzie Albisez's hit set the stage for Austin Riley's walk and a steal that put two runners in scoring position. However, Lane Thomas struck out looking, ending the inning without a run scored. Martin Perez's pitching was the Braves' best event as they secured the series win in the ninth inning with Didier Fuentes sealing the deal.",
  "summary": "The Braves’ offense was largely absent, but Martin Perez, Brett Suter, and Didier Fuentes combined to hold the Rockies to 1 run",
