Nationals' prospect Lucas Giolito baked a pie on 3/14/16 (pi day!)

Pi is 3.14159265359 etc, but if you round pi to six digits you get 3.1416, which just happens to be today's date (3/14/16). Washington Nationals star pitching prospect Lucas Giolito decided to celebrate by baking an appropriately rounded pie.

Lucas Giolito pitches for the Washington Nationals in spring training by day, but by night he is in training to become a baker. With help from his roommates, catcher Spencer Kieboom and pitcher Robert Orlan, he has produced delicacies such as cake, banana bread, and lemon bars. Today they decided to whip up some chocolate pie to celebrate pi day.
