On Thursday evening, the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher went shirtless after a decisive Game 5 win (2-1) over the San Francisco Giants in the National League Division Series.

During his celebrations, Scherzer was also spotted on the field with his two young daughters, Brooklyn and Kacey, as they ran the bases and shared an adorable moment with their dad. (Scherzer and his wife Erica welcomed their third child, son Derek, in May.)
As for what his game plan will be for the NLCS, the veteran pitchertold reporters, “I don’t know. Party tonight, figure it out tomorrow,” adding, “I like to party. I love winning.”
Scherzer was later pictured popping bottles of champagne and spraying alcohol on his teammates in the locker room.
