Seager brothers combined for quite the night at the plate
Looks like Kyle and Corey Seager engaged in a little game of anything you can do I can do better on Tuesday.
With Kyle starting at third base for the Seattle Mariners and Corey the starting shortstop for the Oklahoma City Dodgers, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate, the stage was set for the two to go to work in their friendly competition.
Kyle, 27, got it started. He drove in six runs and hit two home runs, including the go-ahead blast in the 10th inning, to lift Seattle to a 7-6 win over Tampa Bay.

Corey, 21, wasn’t about to let his older brother have all the attention though. The younger Seager went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a walk as Oklahoma City pounded Salt Lake 11-5 in PCL action.
The brothers combined to go 7-for-10 with two home runs, two doubles, and a walk. Just imagine if they were playing on the same team.
Coming off an All-Star season in 2014, Kyle is settling in at the plate after a bit of a slow start and that’s great news for the Mariners as they look to make a surge up the AL West standings. Corey has been in Triple-A for just under a month and he continues to show why he’s considered one of the top prospects in the game.
Here’s what we know for sure: both Seagers can really play and they showed it on Tuesday night.
