Nats star is joined by pitcher Max Scherzer before Washington’s big win over Vegas

The Washington Capitals are one huge win away from securing their first ever Stanley Cup after the Caps notched a dominant 5-2 win over the Las Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 on Monday night. With the win, the Caps extended their series lead to 3-1.

Before the game began, a couple big name baseball stars from the nearby Washington Nationals helped kick off the festivities. Pitcher Max Scherzer was joined by first baseman — and Virginia baseball alum — Ryan Zimmerman to lead the crowd in a raucous cheer.
