In Monday’s win over Minnesota, and became the 29th pair of Cleveland teammates with a multi-homer game in the same contest.

Here’s the list:

Naylors Homer in Same Game

July 15, 2023

Josh Naylor and Bo Naylor each homered off Rangers pitcher Jon Gray in the third inning last night. A few fun notes on the accomplishment:

  • 13th pair of brothers to homer in the same game as teammates
  • First pair of brothers to homer in same game for Cleveland
  • 5th pair of brothers to homer in the same inning as teammates

The most recent occurrences were B.J. and Justin Upton in 2013 and 2014 for the Braves. The Uptons homered in the same game six times and the same inning twice.

Cleveland has been involved in a same-game homer for brothers as opponents. In June 1972, Graig Nettles homered for Cleveland, while Jim Nettles homered for the Twins. And in July 1933, Wes Ferrell homered for Cleveland, while Rick Ferrell homered for the Red Sox (off of Wes) in the top and bottom half of the fourth inning.
