A heartwarming development unfolded in the ninth inning of a tie game.
Edwin Diaz took the mound, struck out the side on 14 pitches, and walked off the field, though his focus would remain on the rubber.
Reds righty Alexis Diaz replaced Edwin and was a bit less dominant, hitting Francisco Alvarez, but escaped unscathed and sent the game into extra innings.
The brothers from Naguabo, Puerto Rico, pitched in the same game for the first time ever, according to Edwin, who is two years older and thus did not overlap much with his little brother growing up.
Their parents, grandmother and sister, among many other family members, were inside Citi Field to see Diaz history — and to see both pitch well, neither costing his team the game.
