  "account": "Arlington, Texas (AP) — Jacob deGrom allowed a single in the second inning, pitching seven shutout innings, and the Texas Rangers secured an 8-1 victory over the Athletics. DeGrom bounced back from one of his worst major league starts, returning from a strong home season and impressive home starts. Brandon Nimmo contributed with two hits, two RBIs, and a run scored. Justin Foscue added a solo home run as well. The Rangers, currently at 68-70, are trailing Cleveland by 1 1/2 games in the quest for the final AL wild-card spot. Lawrence Butler opened the second inning with a sharp hit to right field, allowing DeGrom to strike out eight batters. While coming off a rough outing where he matched career highs in allowing six runs in the first inning and eight total in 3 2/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox, DeGrom now sports a 7-2 home record with a 2.42 ERA. The Athletics, led by rookie Gage Jump (6-9), allowed seven runs in 4 1/3 innings, their worst August performance since 1978.",
