  "account": "BALTIMORE, MD - AUGUST 20: New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole #45 takes the mound during a game against the Baltimore Orioles on August 20, 2026 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland. The Yankees won the game with a 6-1 victory, marking their first sweep in over a month and a five-run margin that tied their largest victory since August 12, 2026. Cole threw six innings, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight batters, bringing his season total to 100 strikeouts. The Yankees displayed a balanced offense, contributing to the win support. Cole's win came after a tough stretch of games, and the sweep was a significant morale boost for the team. The Yankees will return home this weekend to open a three-game set against the Blue Jays, with Cam Schlittler expected to start.",
