WASHINGTON — As if tensions weren't high enough for Nationals fans during the single-elimination Wild Card game against the Brewers Tuesday night, a fire alarm went off in Nationals Park.
The alarm went off mid-game with lights flashing around the stadium and prevented game officials from announcing Anthony Rendon's walk-up. Nobody seemed to move after hearing the alarms.
The noise only lasted a couple of minutes before silencing, and National Park officials have yet to officially comment on why the alarm went off.
The Brewers came out strong with a 3-0 lead against the Nationals thanks to a two-run home run from Yasmani Grandal in the first inning. Trea Turner got the Nationals on the board by the bottom of the third after a home run.
The Nationals currently trail the Brewers 3-1 at the bottom of the eighth inning.
