Aaron Nola had an outstanding day on the mound on Friday. Thanks to his big brother, it wasn't quite good enough.
San Diego catcher Austin Nola took the plate in the sixth inning with his Padres locked in a scoreless tie against the Philadelphia Phillies. First baseman Eric Hosmer stood on second base after a one-out double. On the mound? Austin's little brother Aaron.
Aaron, 29, got ahead early with an 0-2 count. His third pitch was a 92 mph fastball that caught the outside corner of the plate. Austin, 32, swung and sent a line drive to right field that landed fair and short of the warning track.
