  "account": "Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his 42nd home run on Monday night, matching the Cubs record for a left-handed batter. The milestone occurred during a 4-hit performance that also included four RBIs, as the Cubs edged out the Atlanta Braves 7-3. The double-play hero's two-run shot to right in the sixth inning evened the score with Hall of Famer Billy Williams' 1970 mark. Crow-Armstrong has now amassed 102 RBIs, surpassing the 100-RBI mark for the first time in three full seasons. David Peterson, who allowed one run on three hits over six-plus innings, captured the win for Chicago. The Cubs have won three of their last four games and now lead idle Philadelphia by half a game in the top NL wild card race.",
