Pirates Pitcher Steven Brault sang the national anthem Tuesday ahead of the team's home game against the Brewers in Pittsburgh. 

According to MLB.com, Brault had sung the anthem in the minors before, but it was his first time singing the "Star-Spangled Banner" at a Major League game.

"It's something specifically my grandma always wanted me to do," Brault said, according to MLB.com. "She wanted me to sing the national anthem before a Major League game that I got to play in, so that's part of it."

Ahead of the big moment, Brault and the Pirates teased the performance.

It’s like baseball only it’s singing instead #LetsGoBucs https://t.co/TVKRCzgz2E
