  "account": "In a thrilling ninth-inning display of power hitting, the Chicago White Sox secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the New York Mets at Chicago's Comiskey Park on Sunday. After the Mets had tied the score in the top of the ninth, White Sox outfielder Tristan Peters delivered a soaring 406-foot home run into the center-field stands to seal the win for Chicago. This marked the 11th walk-off victory of the season for the White Sox and their second such win in the current series against the Mets.\n\nDefender Andrew Benintendi contributed to Chicago's lead with a double in the eighth inning that drove in Miguel Vargas for a 1-0 advantage. Jared Young answered back in the top of the ninth, tying the game with a single. Despite conceding the tying run, starting pitcher Grant Taylor (6-2) held strong in the ninth, tossing a perfect two-hit frame and striking out two batters.\n\nMets ace Nolan McLean began the game with a flawless six scoreless innings, allowing just a solitary hit while fanning six batters. Relievers Erick Fedde and Hagen Smith continued the strong effort by limiting the Mets to five hits over the first eight innings, while collectively striking out eight more opponents. Starting pitcher Sean Newcomb contributed to the White Sox cause by working six innings, allowing a single hit and adding six strikeouts to his tally.\n\nLooking ahead, the White Sox have yet to announce a starter for the series opener against the Texas Rangers on Monday. Meanwhile, the Mets have set their sights on Game 1 of the series against the Milwaukee Brewers, with left-handed starter Zac Thornton (3-4, 3.04 ERA) set to take the mound for New York on Tuesday.",
  "summary": "Tristan Peters homered with one out in the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday. After the Mets tied it in the top of the inning, Peters drove a pitch from Kodai Senga (0-9) 406 feet into the center-field seats to seal Chicago’s 11th walk-off victory this season — and second of the series. It was Peters’ third walk-off hit of the season.",
