Austin and Aaron Nola are each other's biggest fans. Unless their teams are playing each other. That happened in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series.
“I know his stuff very well,” Austin said. “We talk a lot about pitching. I use a lot of his knowledge and wisdom to teach me."“Big bro always wins,” Padres reliever Nick Martinez said."They know each others’ weaknesses and it becomes more of a cat-and-mouse game. I’m glad this time our Nola came out on top.”“It’s a typical plate appearance versus my brother. I’m 0-2.
“It's pretty neat,” Aaron said. “We’re going to enjoy this moment and soak it in because we don’t know when it’ll ever happen again.”But, of course, only one Nola will advance to the World Series. One brother will experience the thrill of playing for a ring; disappointment awaits the other. In June of this year, Austin got the upper hand. He singled on an 0-2 pitch from Aaron, who had held the Padres scoreless until the sixth inning, to drive in the lone run in San Diego's 1-0 victory.
