  "account": "The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their 14th consecutive playoff berth with a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night, thanks to Tarik Skubal's impressive seven shutout innings and home runs from Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernández. This win tied the record set by Atlanta from 1991 to 2005. With this win, the Dodgers cut their magic number to three for a fifth straight NL West title and their 13th in the past 14 seasons. Skubal (10-7) struck out nine and walked one, allowing only three hits and two runs over 7 1/3 innings. He has now won two games against Cincinnati in seven days and is 3-2 with a 2.52 ERA in eight starts since being acquired from the Detroit Tigers on August 2.",
