  "account": "Phoenix (AP) — Ketel Marte delivered a standout performance for the Arizona Diamondbacks, belting two doubles and contributing three RBIs as the team secured a 9-1 win over the Texas Rangers at Chase Field on Friday night.

In the sixth inning, reliever Justin Martinez showcased his precision, retiring Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter, and Jake Burger on nine pitches. Texas' ace Mackenzie Gore (8-11) surrendered four runs over his four innings pitched, while the Rangers fell to a 72-76 record, putting them three games behind the Cleveland Guardians in the race for the American League's final wild card spot.",
