Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola, 28, faced his older brother Austin Nola, 31, for the first time in the big leagues. The two never faced each other in the minors. The pair’s last formal meeting on the diamond came in an intrasquad game at Louisiana State University.

Aaron actually had a much more competitive at-bat in the last half inning.
