The Jung family is well represented on the diamond this weekend in Detroit, as brothers Jace and Josh Jung are playing against each other as third basemen for the Tigers and Rangers, respectively.
Saturday night marked the first encounter between the brothers in a Major League Baseball game. However, they added a layer of fun to the match with a tic-tac-toe game in the dirt behind third base during the innings.

Although they began their tic-tac-toe challenge, Jace decided to erase the board to focus on the important task of the MLB game, noting that it felt like a game that wouldn’t have a real winner.
While the playful game ended after a few moves, Josh outperformed Jace on the field, contributing to a decisive 10-3 win for the Rangers. Josh had one hit in four at-bats while Jace struggled with three at-bats without success against pitcher Jacob deGrom.
