  "account": "On Saturday, Justin Verlander made his final major league mound appearance in the Detroit Tigers' 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 43-year-old right-hander, who allowed two runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings, was accompanied by his 7-year-old daughter, Genevieve, who hugged him as he left the mound in tears. Verlander had been sidelined by a sore hip and hamstring injury since March 30. The game saw a dramatic ninth inning with Eduardo Valencia's two-run homer and Kevin McGonigle's RBI groundout propelling the Tigers to victory.",
