  "account": "San Diego's National League wild-card hopes were dashed as Arizona Diamondbacks clinched a spot with an 11-4 victory. Nolan Arenado contributed significantly, hitting one of the team's three home runs, while Geraldo Perdomo drove in four runs. Lars Nootbar and Jordan Lawlar also went deep for Arizona. The Padres' Brandon Pfaadt (8-3) secured the win with 7 2/3 innings pitched, allowing four runs and nine hits. The win kept San Diego from claiming the No. 4 seed and home-field advantage in the wild-card round. The Diamondbacks now face Philadelphia and Arizona for the third wild-card spot, trailing Philadelphia by two games.",
