Tyler Heineman, Giants come out on top despite brother Scott's homer

The Texas Rangers center fielder dug into the right-handed batter's box and looked briefly to his dugout. As he tightened his gloves, the Giants' catcher unsnapped a band on his left wrist and looked at the game plan.

Tyler Heineman has been watching Scott Heineman for 27 years, but when you're nine games into the biggest season of your career, you can't be too careful. You check and recheck the scouting report, even if you know it better than anyone on earth.

"When the game goes on, it's just a hitter up there," Tyler said after a 7-3 Giants win.
