  "account": "Detroit Tigers outfielder Brett Callahan made a strong debut in his MLB career, connecting on a 76-mph knuckle curve from Chicago White Sox pitcher Sean Burke and delivering a two-run triple. However, his early spark did not last, as the Tigers lost the following three games, falling behind the division-leading White Sox by 5.5 games. Callahan, ranked as the organization's No. 19 prospect, had a busy minor-league career, hitting .274 with 30 homers and 158 RBI in 911 at-bats before making his debut with the Tigers. He became the first player in the organization to triple in his first at-bat since 1912. Despite Callahan's impressive start, the Tigers ultimately lost the weekend series, 7-5.",
  "summary": "Detroit's rookie became the third MLB player since 1988 to triple on the first pitch of his first at-bat.",
