  "account": "On a 4-0 victory against the Braves, Cincinnati Reds' shortstop Elly De La Cruz was one steal and one home run away from a 30-30 season, a historic milestone for the franchise. In the course of his performance, he reached second base after breaking from first base, and later hit a solo home run over the right-field wall. De La Cruz' performance included a single and pair of walks, ranking him fourth in the majors for non-pitchers WAR and ninth with an .881 WAR. His on-base percentage (.935) and slugging percentage (.955) were also top in the majors since the All-Star break. De La Cruz has been quite playful with his teammates, including a playful shove on a foul popup by Ozzie Albies, but manager Terry Francona reminds everyone to focus on playing the game right. With five games left in the season, De La Cruz and teammate Sal Stewart are chasing historic milestones that could significantly impact the team's future.",
