  "account": "The Boston Red Sox's bid to achieve a second 10-game winning streak in the same season came to an end on Saturday with a 7-3 loss to the Athletics. The team had previously recorded a franchise-record 15-game winning streak, matching a mark set in 1946, before it was halted on July 22. In their attempt for a second streak, the Red Sox were outplayed by the A's, who ended a nine-game losing streak. Gage Jump put on a strong performance for the Athletics, striking out 11 batters and allowing only two runs and six hits. Tyler Soderstrom and Henry Bolte each hit a solo home run, while Jonah Heim and Donovan Walton contributed with two-run doubles. Despite the loss, Athletics' closer Hogan Harris recorded his 10th save, allowing only one run in the final three innings to seal the victory.",
