Giants prospect Bishop loves brother Braden's walk-off homer

Nobody is a bigger Braden Bishop fan than his younger brother, and Giants prospect, Hunter Bishop. 

On Tuesday night, Hunter had the perfect message for all of his brother's naysayers. Braden hit a walk-off solo shot for the Sacramento River Cats, the Giants' Triple-A affiliate, against the Las Vegas Aviators, the A's Triple-A affiliate. 

"Thought he couldn't hit tho?" Hunter tweeted.

Braden went 2-for-5 in the win, also singling in the first inning. 

His walk-off homer came one night after also showing off what he can do with his glove in the outfield.
