  "account": "On Saturday, the New York Mets outplayed the Washington Nationals 7-1, thanks to two home runs from A.J. Ewing and a three-run hit by Ronny Mauricio. Ewing smashed a go-ahead homer in the seventh inning, ending an 0-for-10 slump and putting the Mets ahead 3-1. Mauricio followed with his first career multi-homer game and a two-run shot in the ninth. Juan Soto was removed from the game in the ninth after being hit on the right hand by a 91.7 mph fastball from Richard Lovelady; X-rays came back negative. Rookie Carson Benge contributed three hits for his 44th multi-hit game and 13th with three hits or more, and he also made a notable play in right field. Washington starter Connelly Early made his debut, retiring nine of 10 batters and allowing just one hit in 3 innings. The Mets now lead the season series against Washington 6-5. The Mets will face Washington's closer, Sean Manaea, in Sunday's season finale.",
