  "account": "Atlanta's Chris Sale dominated Cristopher Sánchez in a matchup between two of baseball's premier pitchers, as the Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 on Friday night. This victory extended the Braves' lead in the NL East to five games. Atlanta's Ronald Acuña contributed with three hits and a crucial run-driving double, while Mauricio Dubón also hit a home run. Alec Bohm went 2-for-3 with a pair of hits and two RBIs for the Phillies. Chris Sale (14-9) allowed only two runs over six innings, recording seven strikeouts and one walk, placing him second in the NL in ERA at 2.10. Sánchez (16-5) remained tied at 16 wins after surrendering three runs over six innings, with five hits and three walks on the mound.",
