  "account": "The New York Yankees secured a 6-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, completing a three-game sweep in Baltimore on Thursday night. Pitching ace Gerrit Cole allowed just four hits and struck out eight in six sharp innings. Backup relievers Luis García Jr. and Spencer Jones contributed with solo home runs in the sixth inning, sealing the win for New York. The Orioles, who had briefly taken sole possession of the AL East lead, have now dropped four consecutive games. Ryan Yarbrough added to the Yankees' perfect pitching effort with three perfect innings in his third save of the game. The Orioles struggled, allowing three earned runs and a pair of unearned runs in the third inning. With men on base and no outs, shortstop Gunnar Henderson made an error on a grounder, allowing all runners to advance safely. Dylan Beavers delivered the lone Baltimore run in the fifth inning. Ryan Yarbrough's perfect relief work marked his third save of the season. New York's win brings the team within four games of AL East-leading Tampa Bay.",
