  "account": "Brandon Lowe was instrumental in the Pittsburgh Pirates' 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs in their series finale. Lowe's two-run single in the Pirates' three-run sixth inning broke the tie and set up a crucial win that prevented a sweep of the weekend series. Bryan Reynolds and Carmen Mlodzinski contributed with hits, while Miguel Amaya's home run and support from the pitching staff helped the Cubs take a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning. Matthew Boyd struggled, allowing four runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings, his second consecutive loss. Chicago's top spot in the NL wild-card standings was tied with Philadelphia after the Cubs dropped two of three against the Pirates.",
