  "account": "Max Fried secured his first victory since April 27, as the New York Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins 8-1 on Tuesday night. The Yankees maintained their position in the AL East race, trailing Tampa Bay by 3½ games. Max Fried, who returned from a bone bruised elbow injury, allowed just one run over seven innings, pitching 88 pitches. Cody Bellinger and Spencer Jones contributed with home runs, with Bellinger driving home the first run and Jones adding two more. Despite a fielding error by rookie shortstop Kaelen Culpepper, the Yankees' offense, led by Aaron Judge, collected 14 hits. The win puts the Yankees 8-1, while the Twins struggled with a 70-81 record, showing vulnerability in their last 23 games.",
