Kicker - MLB double take

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: The umpires standing around home plate for Monday night’s game between the Giants and Padres might have thought they were seeing double, if not for the uniforms.

Pitcher Tyler Rogers walked out of the Giants’ dugout to present his team’s lineup card before the game. And relief pitcher Taylor Rogers did the same for the Padres.

NBC Sports captured the moment.

AUDIO: Well, the Rogers brothers both, well, they’re identical twins. And low and behold, the first time they face each other, they’re going to get out and exchange the lineup cards.

Nine other sets of identical twins have played in the big leagues. And this is the fifth time in more than a century that such twins have played in the same game.

Tyler is in his fourth big league season, all with the Giants.

Taylor was just traded to San Diego after spending six seasons playing for the Minnesota Twins!
