  "account": "In the ninth inning of a close baseball game, the St. Louis Cardinals outlasted the Los Angeles Dodgers with a go-ahead two-strike infield single by Thomas Saggese in the 10th inning. The Cardinals secured an 8-6 victory over the Dodgers on Wednesday night. Prior to Saggese's hit, Nathan Church had moved José Fermín to third base with a single off reliever Brock Stewart in the 10th. Fermín scored on Saggese's single to second base, giving the Cardinals a 6-5 lead. The Cardinals added two more runs later in the inning, first with a double by Joshua Báez, who pinch-hit in the eighth, and then a sacrifice fly by Alec Burleson. The Dodgers had leads of 3-0, 5-2, and 5-4 before the Cardinals tied the game in the eighth inning. Alex Burleson contributed with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The Dodgers had potential winning runs in the ninth inning when Teoscar Hernández hit a ground-rule double and Kiké Hernández, pinch-hitting, struck out. Riley O Brien pitched the crucial 10th inning, earning his 35th save. The Dodgers led initially with a three-run homer from Freddie Freeman in the first inning, which snapped his 47-game homerless streak. The 416-foot shot to center field was Ohtani's first since July 3 and helped score both Ohtani and Tommy Edman.",
