Austin Nola lofted an opposite-field RBI single to right off his younger brother Aaron, turned toward the San Diego Padres' dugout and raised his right fist.
Aaron Nola went right back to work and retired the next two batters, and Austin Nola's Padres went on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0.
It's the first time a player had an RBI against his brother in a 1-0 victory since RBIs became an official stat in 1920, according to STATS. Austin Nola had been 0 for 4 against his brother in two seasons until delivering an opposite-field single to right with one out in the sixth to bring in Eric Hosmer, who was aboard on a one-out double.
The Nolas first faced each other as professionals on Aug. 21. They grew up in Baton Rouge and both played at LSU.
