  "account": "Anaheim, Calif. (AP) — Zack Wheeler limited the Los Angeles Angels to one run over six solid innings, and Edmundo Sosa tied the game with a crucial seventh-inning home run, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-2 victory over the Angels on Sunday. Sosa, who also homered in Friday night's 5-3 win, opened the seventh with a solo shot off Yusei Kikuchi to extend the Phillies' lead to 2-1. The Phillies added two more runs in the eighth inning to take a 4-1 lead, with Luis Arraez's pinch-hit sacrifice fly and Brandon Marsh's pinch-hit RBI single. Bryce Harper added an RBI double in the ninth inning for a 5-1 lead. Alex McFarlane pitched a scoreless seventh, and Orion Kerkering gave up a run on Mike Trout's ninth-inning RBI double but finished with his second save. Wheeler (11-5) struck out six and walked three, outdueling Kikuchi, who allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings while striking out six and walking one.",
