Aaron and Austin Nola, brothers who play on different MLB teams, made history as the first pair of siblings to face off in a pitcher-batter matchup in a postseason game. Aaron is a pitcher for the Phillies and Austin plays catcher for the Padres. The two have a long-standing rivalry, and this battle was no different. Though they've played each other previously in MLB games, this was the first time it happened in the postseason. MLB Legend Randy Johnson Is Now Living a Second Career as NFL and Wildlife Photographer Aaron and Austin's first matchup in Wednesday's game was in the bottom of the second inning. Aaron, 29, won the first meeting of the pair when Austin, 32, grounded out. Right after Austin grounded out, Fox Sports interviewed the brother's parents. Their dad A.J. kept it short and simple: "Aaron got him the first at-bat." The tides changed when they met again in the fifth inning, as Austin hit an RBI single against his little brother. The two didn't meet again after Aaron left the game for a relief pitcher. The Padres — and big brother Austin — eventually won the game 8-5.
