  "account": "Washington Nationals secured a 9-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night, with three players joining the exclusive 30-30 club. First-year 30-30 inductee CJ Abrams, along with Cade Cavalli, became the 52nd player to achieve 30 homers and 30 steals in a single season. Abrams, who recently signed a four-year, $47 million contract extension, joined Alfonso Soriano as the only Nationals to accomplish this feat. Cavalli, who recorded his 200th strikeout of the year, led the pitching staff with a 6-5 win. The Nats' offense exploded in the first inning, scoring three runs on Abrams' RBI single and a steal by Abrams himself. Brady House followed with an RBI groundout, while Dylan Crews drove in four more runs in the third inning with his 12th homer of the season. The game saw Crews and Morales contribute with crucial runs, making it a thrilling exhibition for fans.",
