Bo, Josh Naylor become first brothers in decade to homer in same inning for same team
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Bo and Josh Naylor of the Cleveland Guardians became the first brothers in a decade to homer in the same inning for the same team when each hit a two-run shot during the third inning at Texas on Friday night.
Bo Naylor hit a 1-0 changeup from Rangers starter Jon Gray an estimated 435 feet to right field at Globe Life Park with no outs in the third. Four batters later, Josh hit a 3-1 slider from Gray down the right-field line and it barely stayed fair to make it 4-0.
The last brothers to achieve the feat in the same inning were B.J. and Justin Upton of the Atlanta Braves, who went back-to-back off Colorado's Jon Garland on April 23, 2013.
