In this story:

The highlight from Wednesday's night game wasn't Will Brennan's incredible diving catch, Gavin Williams' incredible debut, or Jose Ramirez continues to be incredible.

The real highlight was Josh Naylor's reaction to his young brother, Bo Naylor, finally getting his first Big League hit. Josh jumped for joy in the dugout as Bo rounded first looking to see if he should break for second.

You never forget your first.

Bo has been looking for his first hit for some time now. However, it couldn't have come at a better time for the Guardians as they were in the middle of a come-from-behind victory.

Steven Kwan was the next man up to bat and double down the right field line scoring Myles Straw. Bo's hit put the team in a perfect position to take the lead and win the game.

Just an inning before all of this took place, Josh smoked his ninth home run of the season to put the Guardians within one run of the A's.

The Naylors were a huge part of this win, but hearing them talking about each other's success after the game was awesome to watch.

This is what Bo had to say about his brother Josh and his success:

"It's something fun to watch and I'm sure everyone can agree on that. You know he's really coming into himself, he's really embraced the fans, embraced the culture, embraced the environment here. And I think all of that coming together has really helped him feel comfortable and allowed him to be the player he can be and it seems like every night he's just showing that all off ..."

Josh echoed many of the same feelings watching his brother Bo:

"Yeah, it was awesome, it was a very special moment for not only me but my whole family and my other brother. I can't even describe how cool the feeling was, but it was awesome to be a part of that."

Watching these two continue to develop and play in a Guardians uniform is going to be a lot of fun to watch for years to come!
