  "account": "In a dramatic 11th-inning victory, the Atlanta Braves edged out the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 in their season opener of the final series against division rivals. After a 45-minute weather-related delay, the game proceeded with Chris Sale pitching a solid first seven innings, allowing just two runs. Matt Olson broke a two-week slump with a home run, but the Braves bounced back as Edmundo Sosa's single and Drake Baldwin's walk-off double secured the win. The game showcased a mix of strong pitching from Sale and the White Sox's Derek Hill, as well as powerful hitting from Olson, Keirsey Jr., and Baldwin.",
  "summary": "The Braves tied the game in the ninth, then in the tenth, and then in the 11th before walking it off",
