  "account": "Wilyer Abreu powered the Boston Red Sox to victory in a 4-0 win over the Chicago White Sox, hitting his fourth home run in three games. Sonny Gray delivered a strong pitching performance, striking out eight batters over six innings to secure his 14th win of the season. The Red Sox have now won seven straight games, tying Atlanta for the longest active streak in the majors, and have a total of 25 wins from 28 games. They are also on a nine-game winning streak in series, the second-longest in franchise history, surpassed only by an 11-game winning streak in 1912.\n\nSonny Gray's impressive 14-2 record saw him allow just three hits and walk two in his 14th victory of the season. The Chicago White Sox, meanwhile, were blanked for the eighth time, as they surrendered four runs to the Red Sox. Willson Contreras contributed with an RBI single in the first inning, setting up Abreu's crucial third-inning homer, which moved him to 20 home runs for the season. The Red Sox's pitching staff, including relievers Tyson Guerrero, Garrett Whitlock, and Jovani Morán, completed the shutout with an inning each, adding to their 11 shutouts of the season.\n\nDespite Willson Contreras leaving the game in the fifth inning due to illness, the Red Sox managed to secure the win with strong performances from their roster. The next game will see White Sox rookie Luis Castillo (3-9, 5.06 ERA) make his White Sox debut, while Red Sox relief pitcher Luis Suarez (4-3, 3.15) takes the mound in the series finale on Thursday.",
