After watching Max Scherzer pitch the first few innings against the Pirates at Nationals Park on Saturday, you knew he was going to be dominant. The Nationals ace was locked in and perfect through 8 2/3 innings.
After his two-out, two-strike pitch in the ninth just got a piece of Jose Tabata, the Pirates had their first baserunner, but the dominance continued.
Scherzer got the next batter, Josh Harrison, to fly out to left field, locking up the Nationals' second no-hitter, the first of his career.
And then the celebration was on.
In true Nats fashion, the on-field postgame party included hugs, high fives, Gatorade and, of course, chocolate syrup. Check out the GIFs and videos below to relive the celebration of one of the best, if not the best, pitching performances in Nats history.
