Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Ryan O’Hearn has a historic night at the plate as the team defeats the Atlanta Braves 12-4 and wins for a third straight game. Multiple reports say O’Hearn hits three home runs and finishes with a franchise-record 10 RBIs. His big output includes a grand slam in the first inning off Braves starter Hurston Waldrep, followed by a three-run homer off Waldrep in the third. In the sixth inning, O’Hearn adds another three-run homer, this time off Atlanta reliever Connor Thomas, bringing his RBI total to 10. Several outlets note that the 10 RBIs break an 87-year-old Pirates franchise record and represent the most RBIs by a player in an MLB game this season. The coverage also links the offensive burst to improved pitching results for Paul Skenes, who picks up a win and appears to be snapping out of a rough stretch, according to one report. In total, the sources consistently describe O’Hearn’s three-homer, record-setting performance as the central factor in Pittsburgh’s rout.
