Naylor Brothers Bash Baseball On National Siblings Day

Every once in a while, the universe does something, and you just have to chuckle and wonder, "What are the odds?"

That's what many people are doing this morning as they wake up to find out that the Cleveland Guardians' Josh and Bo Naylor brothers both hit home runs last night in the same inning - on National Sibling Day no less!

Talk about the odds being in your favor!

NAYLOR BROTHERS HOME RUNS HELP GUARDIANS WIN

For the second time in their careers, the Naylor brothers both hit bombs in the same inning. Last night's feat came in the bottom of the fourth inning with the Guardians hosting the Chicago White Sox. Down by five, Josh Naylor started the comeback by hitting a 432 solo shot to right field. Two batters later, with a man on first, Josh's younger brother would then go yard to dead center field. 

Josh would go on to become the hero once again when he blasted in a walk-off single to help Cleveland win 7-6. 

Cash that lotto card, baby.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

Just how rare is it for siblings to both hit a home run in the same inning?

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, last night was only the 10th time that it's ever happened in the history of the game. Have yourselves a damn day indeed!
