  "account": "Hunter Goodman returned to the lineup after recovering from a shoulder injury and delivered a crucial home run in the fourth inning, marking his 35th homer for the season. This timely performance helped the Colorado Rockies end their seven-game losing streak as they defeated the Washington Nationals 3-1. Mason Adams made his major league debut, pitching four and two-thirds innings before being replaced in the fifth inning. The Nationals' Daylen Lile added to the Rockies' lead with a solo home run of his own in the fourth, which was later upheld after a controversial play involving Beck and third baseman Brady House. Jordan Beck ultimately scored the decisive run from second base on a wild pitch, securing the win for the Rockies. Mark Manfredi made his first career relief appearance, pitching a perfect inning to close out the game. Jordan Romano secured his 13th save in 16 opportunities with a stellar ninth inning. Andrew Alvarez struggled, allowing three runs and five hits while walking three and striking out six. In a noteworthy move, the Rockies acquired Mason Adams earlier in the month through a trade with the Chicago White Sox. Tanner Gordon is scheduled to start for the Rockies in the next game against the Nationals.",
