  "account": "Kazuma Okamoto scored his 27th home run and contributed three RBIs as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 8-1 on Friday. The rookie's first home run in seven games was a two-run shot off Seranthony Dominguez, extending the Blue Jays' lead to six in the sixth inning at Rogers Centre. Following a sacrifice fly by Okamoto, he drove in the final run of the game with an infield single in the seventh inning. Seiya Suzuki of the Chicago Cubs went 3-for-5 with two RBIs but their late rally was unsuccessful as they lost 10-8 to the Cincinnati Reds. After doubling in the first inning, Suzuki had three hits in a game for the first time in a month. Tomoyuki Sugano, the Colorado Rockies' right-hander, lost his third consecutive start as he conceded six runs on ten hits over 4.2 innings, resulting in a 6-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The 36-year-old, who was 3-0 in July, finished August with a 1-4 record, totaling 18 runs allowed from his last three starts.",
