  "account": "Brandon Lowe and rookie Rafael Flores Jr. powered the Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-4 triumph over the slumping Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Lowe's three-run homer in the fifth inning, followed by Flores' third home run in two days, gave the Pirates a 7-2 lead. The Red Sox, who have lost six of their last seven games, fell to 28-36 after being shut out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Bubba Chandler secured the win for the Pirates, allowing only two runs in five innings. The game marked the Pirates' first back-to-back wins since July 26-27.",
