  "account": "CINCINNATI, Ohio (Kyodo) -- Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Los Angeles Dodgers' ace pitcher, kept the Cincinnati Reds scoreless for seven innings, leading the team to a 4-0 victory on Tuesday. Despite struggling with his pitch selection early in the game, Yamamoto maintained his composure and focused on his delivery, striking out seven batters while allowing just a single hit. Fellow Dodgers player Shohei Ohtani, who had been sidelined due to various injuries, returned to swinging on Tuesday, with manager Dave Roberts uncertain of his expected return date but hopeful for regular-season action. Meanwhile, Japanese right-handed hitter Kazuma Okamoto broke the MLB record for a Japanese player, hitting his 33rd home run in the Blue Jays' 10-1 win over the Detroit Tigers.",
