  "account": "On the final day of the 2026 Major League Baseball regular season, the Colorado Rockies faced off against the Chicago White Sox at Coors Field in Denver. The Rockies had struggled throughout September, culminating in their fourth consecutive season with 100 or more losses. However, they sought to end their rough campaign on a high note with a victory against the White Sox. For the Rockies, left-handed pitcher Kyle Freeland was set to make his final start of the season after dealing with injuries and poor performances. His 6.58 ERA in 25 starts this season was the second worst of his career. On the other side of the mound, White Sox veteran Anthony Kay, 31, was preparing to take the mound for the first time since 2023. Kay, who played the entire 2024 and 2025 seasons with Japan’s Yokohama DeNA Baystars, had a 4.53 ERA in 32 appearances this season, including 30 starts. He currently leads the league in hit batters with 25. His primary pitch was a sweeper, backed up by a mid-90s four-seam fastball, a sinker, a cutter, a changeup, and a traditional slider. The first pitch was set for 1:10 p.m. MDT.",
