  "account": "Paul Goldschmidt's home run, combined with Cody Bellinger's crucial throwout in the seventh inning, secured a 1-0 victory for the New York Yankees over the Boston Red Sox in Friday night's opening game of a crucial four-game series. Cam Schlittler's dominant pitching, which included eight strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings of two-hit ball, helped seal the win. Schlittler, from Boston, struck out eight in a career-high five walks and stranded 10 overall. The Red Sox, facing a left-handed starter for the first time since August 8, went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position. They also made a costly error when Ceddanne Rafaela was doubled off first base when Wilyer Abreu lined out to center field. New York remains four games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East but is now three games ahead of Boston in the chase for the top American League wild card and home-field advantage in a potential best-of-three playoff series.",
