Astros-Giants a family affair for Cole, Crawford

Related Topics: Affair, Gerrit Cole, Brandon Crawford

HOUSTON -- On Tuesday, two brothers-in-law will make their way to Minute Maid Park in downtown Houston and take in a ballgame between the Astros and Giants.

This doesn't sound all that unusual. After all, countless family members do this every day throughout a season. Why make note of it?

Well, in this case, the brothers-in-law won't be watching this game in a leisurely manner. Come to think of it, they won't even be watching the game together.

And they'll be rooting against each other -- sort of.

The brothers-in-law in question are Gerrit Cole, one of several co-aces in the Astros' starting rotation, and Brandon Crawford, the Giants' All-Star shortstop.
