  "account": "The New York Yankees dominated the Boston Red Sox 9-2 in Game 2 of the American League Wild Card Series, securing a sweep of the two-game series. Max Fried had a strong performance for the Yankees, pitching three-hit ball over six innings and becoming the first pitcher since 2021 to win a postseason game against Boston. Cody Bellinger and Luis García Jr. contributed significantly with a combined four RBIs, including a three-run homer by Bellinger in the sixth inning. The Red Sox struggled, hitting just .117 in the series with 18 strikeouts and were outscored 18-2. The Yankees will face AL East champion Tampa Bay in the upcoming AL Division Series, starting on Saturday.",
