  "account": "Boston Red Sox defeated Kansas City Royals 4-1 in a rain-delayed game on Sunday, thanks to standout performances from Payton Tolle and Roman Anthony. Tolle opened the game with an immaculate inning, becoming the first Boston pitcher to achieve this feat since Pedro Martinez in 2002. Anthony then hit a crucial single to give the Red Sox the lead. Caleb Durbin added a solo home run, while Trevor Story contributed a game-changing two-run single. Carter Jensen provided the only run for the Royals with a pinch-hit single in the seventh inning. Garrett Whitlock was named the winning pitcher, while Aroldis Chapman closed the game with his 34th save and 401st career save.",
