Tyler Heineman is a good brother. But he’s also a Giant, and his competitive streak came out before Saturday’s game, the first in which the Heineman brothers will play against each other in the big leagues.
Tyler is catching for the Giants. Scott is playing center field for the Rangers.
"It's still the Rangers versus the Giants, and the most important thing is the Giants come away with the W," Tyler said. "I'd be very happy with him going 0-for-4 with four lineouts somewhere hard."
Tyler, the starting catcher for the Giants right now, said he's "very excited" for the matchup but also had some nerves.
