  "account": "The Detroit Tigers secured their fifth consecutive victory on Monday, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in a thrilling game. Zach McKinstry was the hero, scoring the winning run on Louis Varland's fielding error in the ninth inning. The Tigers' pitching staff, led by Troy Melton, struggled throughout the game. Melton lasted just 2 2/3 innings, giving up two runs on five hits and four walks before being replaced. Relievers Beau Brieske, Tyler Holton, Kyle Finnegan, Tyler Kinley, and Kenley Jansen stepped in to secure the win. Kazuma Okamoto's three-run homer in the seventh inning helped Toronto (75-76) regain the lead they had given up in the top of the inning. Alejandro Kirk added an RBI single and George Springer scored on a wild pitch in the first inning, putting the Blue Jays ahead 2-0. However, Jose Soriano's perfect game was derailed in the seventh inning when he allowed four runs on one out. The Blue Jays remain a game back of Cleveland for the final wild-card berth in the American League as the Guardians lost to the Chicago White Sox 7-3.",
