By Ryan Phillips | Oct 01 2019
After the Brewers lit up Max Scherzer for three runs early in the National League Wild Card Game, Nationals fans were on edge. Things quickly settled down, so much so that went the fire alarm went off at Nationals Park mid-game, no one even moved.

For a short time, there was a fire alarm going off in the press box and around the stadium. It has since stopped, but that’s a first for me in a press box. pic.twitter.com/lUSjvyyRFa

Legendary Brewers announcer Bob Uecker had some fun with the situation:

"My pacemaker went off."
"Lane Grindle (3rd man on the radio team who doesn't do games when Ueck does) just showed up in a fireman's uniform with an axe."#ThisIsMyCrew
The man is a national treasure.
The Brewers jumped out to a 3-0 lead, thanks to a two-run home run from Yasmani Grandal in the first-inning and a solo shot from Eric Thames in the second. The Nationals got a run back in the bottom of the third on a Trea Turner home run.
The game is currently in the top of the fifth and Milwaukee still leads 3-1, while Scherzer is still on the mound.
