Jung Brothers Face Off in MLB Showdown

Josh and Jace Jung, brothers and third basemen for the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers respectively, faced each other for the first time in Major League Baseball during a 2025 series in Detroit. The family milestone, celebrated by both parents on Mother’s Day weekend, was highlighted when the siblings played an impromptu game of tic-tac-toe in the dirt near third base. Josh contributed a two-run homer in Sunday's win and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's game, while Jace went hitless as the Tigers struggled offensively. The matchup underscored the rarity of two brothers playing the same position on opposing MLB teams. Their story resonated with fans, especially given Josh’s resilience through injury setbacks and Jace’s recent rise as a first-round pick. The event captured both the fun and significance of their sibling rivalry reaching the major leagues.
