After Johnny Cueto's dominant complete-game two-hitter Wednesday, the Kansas City Royals may have found the secret to extending his success: cloning him.

Following Cueto's Game 2 masterpiece, MLB.com reporter Anthony Castrovince had to do a double take in the Royals' clubhouse when he nearly mistook Danillo Cueto for his major-league brother.

Asked how often he gets mistaken for his brother, Danillo replied, "All the time. Everybody." The case of mistaken identity should come as no surprise, given the uncanny resemblance in the photos below.
