  "account": "Zack Wheeler dominated for six innings, striking out nine Philadelphia Phillies batters to help the team secure a 4-2 victory over Atlanta, bringing them within four games of the first-place Atlanta Braves in the NL East. Kyle Schwarber added to the excitement by hitting his 41st career home run, contributing significantly to the Phillies' win.\n\nLuis Arraez of the Phillies delivered two hits and an RBI, while Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley contributed two homers for the Braves. Wheeler, who had been struggling in August, returned to his usual form, allowing only one run on three hits. Jhoan Duran pitched a perfect ninth inning, securing his 30th save of the season.\n\nThe Phillies' win extends their winning streak to 16 games out of their last 20. Philadelphia's Aaron Nola will face Tyler Mahle of the Braves in the next game of the four-game series on Sunday.",
