Watch Capital One Arena erupt after Nats beat Cubs in Game Four

Wednesday night, the Washington Nationals lived to see another day after starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg had a masterful… no, *sick performance. Stras struck out 2016 MVP Kris Bryant three times and Anthony Rizzo twice. Michael A. Taylor put the game out of reach with an eighth inning grand slam.

In the first period of their rivalry-night game against the Penguins, the Capitals’ game entertainment crew put the final score on the jumbotron. The crowd cheered loudly.

It’s not a super long video, but doesn’t this make you feel all great inside? I noticed a Caps fan banging on the glass too.

“It seemed like a lot of people were on their phones checking the pitch by pitch during the game,” reader Stephanie Williams said in a message. “My dad and I were following along and I could hear the people behind me doing the same.”

“It’s always fun to see any example of DC sports fans supporting each other,” Williams concluded.

A similar crowd reaction happened during the Caps home opener for Game Two.

For those who missed last night’s Game Four, here’s all you need to see to get caught up. Here’s Taylor’s granny.

And here’s Stras’s filthy changeups.

The Nats will try to advance tonight at home in Game Five. Everyone here at RMNB is sending good vibes to the Nats, because lord knows they will need it.
