  "account": "In a recent game, Detroit Tigers' pitcher Troy Melton demonstrated his value as the team's top starter by pitching a perfect game. The Tigers faced the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on August 9, 2026. Despite the Giants' initial resistance, Melton's exceptional performance, coupled with timely hits from Hao-Yu Lee and Kenley Jansen, led the Tigers to a 7-9 victory. Melton entered the game with a streak of seven scoreless innings and aimed to extend that run. His shutout performance was a significant factor in the Tigers' triumph.",
  "summary": "The much maligned bullpen bullied the Giants late to give the Tigers a chance to win.",
