JOSH and Bo Naylor are making their family dreams come true by bringing brotherly gloves to the Cleveland Guardians.
The Naylors celebrated National Siblings Day in epic fashion this week, hitting home runs in the same inning during their 7-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Incredibly, it wasn’t the first time Josh and Bo had scored in the same shift.
They also achieved the rare feat on July 14 last season against the Texas Rangers.
The Naylors are the tenth pair of brothers to play in the same game as their teammates since 1900.
And Canadians always dreamed of sharing great moments together when they were kids.
“I knew it would eventually come true if we kept working hard,” Josh said.
“So it’s not really a shock to me. I kind of believed that from day one and knew that if we continued to work hard at our craft, we would play against each other or play with each other.
“And God is good and we can play with each other.”
Josh, 26, is two years older than his brothers.
He joined the Guardians in 2020 after stints with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres.
Bo has played for the Guardians since 2022.
The last time they played together was for the Mississauga North Tigers, in Canada.
And they clearly enjoy being on the same team once again.
“Every time I’m in the locker room I can hang out with my brother, it’s a new special moment,” Bo told MLB.com.
“Every time I’m on the field, every end of the inning, I can throw a ball to him, it’s special.

“So for me, it’s a new part of the journey every day and I’m so grateful to be able to share these experiences with him.”
There is another baseball-playing brother in the family.
Myles, 18, was drafted by the Oakland A’s last year and currently plays in the minor leagues.
“I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel any pressure.” Myles told MLB.com.
“But I think, as the years went by, I learned to deal more and more with the pressure of being the little brother.
“There’s definitely pressure. They’re great players. They’ve done great things in baseball.
“But at the end of the day, I try to play my own game and remind people that I’m Myles Naylor.”
