Mets' Tyler Rogers, Cubs' Taylor Rogers pitch in same MLB game as identical twin brothers image

Tyler Rogers and Taylor Rogers are identical twins.

But they aren't the same.

Tyler is a right-handed pitcher who throws as a submariner for the New York Mets.

Taylor is a crafty left-handed reliver for the Chicago Cubs.

The coolest part: They often get into the same game since they're both high-leverage relievers.

That happened in a crucial game on Thursday night, when the Mets and Cubs faced off.

MLB Network's Sarah Langs has the full stats on this happening:

Langs it right, of course. Baseball is the best.

Even just in that little screenshot, you can see the pride on one twin's face as the other pitches.

What are the odds? 

Sure, they got good genetics, but then they decided to throw from opposite ends of a clock, and they both made it anyway.

Sports are just so cool.
