  "account": "In a devastating start to the American League Wild Card Series, the Boston Red Sox suffered a 9-0 loss to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on September 29, 2026. The performance was so abysmal that it has not been seen in the Red Sox organization since pre-2004 days. The entire lineup appeared to be at a loss, with payton Tolle failing to outperform Cam Schlitter, low leverage relievers being used in late innings, and Roman Anthony leaving the game in the top of the sixth inning due to a non-contact injury. The loss is a major blow to both the series and the larger picture for the Red Sox.",
