Aaron Nola finally gets to face older brother Austin, who is making an impact with the Padres

This weekend marks a special occasion for Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola and his family. He is scheduled to start Saturday’s game against the San Diego Padres, but more importantly, he is likely to face his older brother Austin Nola for the first time in the majors.

It’s been years since the two have formally faced each other. The two were teammates for one season at Louisiana State University, when Aaron was a freshman and Austin was a senior.
