Max Scherzer

Max Scherzer went to the Capitals-Red Wings game. He threw his hat on the ice after Alex Ovechkin scored a hat trick.

Three-time Cy Young award-winner Max Scherzer was at Capital One Arena Tuesday night. He saw quite a hockey game.

Alex Ovechkin scored his 21st career hat trick, leading the Capitals to a 6-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

Scherzer, sitting in the lower bowl, knew exactly what to do after Ovi scored goal number three. The Nationals pitcher chucked his hat on the ice.

The moment was captured by NBC Sports Washington reporter Al Koken.

Max Scherzer struck out twelve Orioles while watching the Caps game between innings

As the Nationals and the Orioles prepared to face each other in the third game of their series, both teams (aside from one particular player) were openly supporting the Capitals.

One lucky player, Max Scherzer, was able to catch bits and pieces of the game. Without having to bat in an American League game, Scherzer escaped to the dugout during the top of every inning to watch a few minutes of Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Washington Nationals wore Capitals hats during batting practice. Max Scherzer yelled ‘hell yeah’ when the Caps won.

Tuesday was a pretty great night for D.C. sports. After the Nats trolled Pittsburgh sports fans with Caps-themed ticket promotion, both Washington teams came out on top over teams from the Steel City. The Capitals, in a hard-fought Game Three of their second-round series against the Penguins, won 4-3 on a late Alex Ovechkin goal, while Bryce Harper and the Nationals rolled the Pirates, 12-4.

Many Nationals, including manager Davey Martinez, pitcher Max Scherzer, and Harper, proudly show their support for Capitals, going to games and wearing gear. That support was ratcheted up to 11 Tuesday.

Max Scherzer and wife Erica are doing their part to help displaced pets from Hurricane Harvey

As Houston begins to recover from the destruction of Hurricane Harvey, many pets are seeking shelter.

Many of the Texas area refugee shelters available did not allow pets, and to escape the severe flooding, owners had no other option than to leave them behind. It’s hard to imagine the pain these families felt having to make this decision.

There are many ways to help Houston and a new one just appeared. The DC Human Rescue Alliance needs to clear their shelter to make room for the transfer of shelter pets from Texas. Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer and his wife, Erica, are making this easier. They are offering to cover all adoption feeds from Thursday through Sunday this week.
