PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Ryan O\u2019Hearn has been playing baseball nearly all his life. Never has the left-handed slugger had a game quite like Tuesday\u2019s 12-4 win over Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Not in Little League. Not in high school. Not at Sam Houston State. Not in the minors. Not in Baltimore. Not in San Diego. Not ever.<\/p>\n

Three home runs. Ten RBIs. One magical night that included a rare curtain call and ended with his batting helmet headed to Cooperstown.<\/p>\n

The Pirates have been playing baseball since 1882. No player across 145 seasons had ever driven in 10 runs in a game. A grand slam in the first and a three-run homer in the third off Braves starter Hurston Waldrep, and another three-run shot off Atlanta reliever Connor Thomas in the sixth changed all that, breaking the club single-game record of nine RBIs set by Johnny Rizzo against St. Louis on May 30, 1939 \u2014 a scant 54 years before the 32-year-old O\u2019Hearn was born. <\/p>\n

The 10 RBIs also marked the most in the majors by a player this season, and he became the 11th big leaguer since RBI became an official statistic in 1920 to have at least three home runs and 10 RBIs in a game and the first since Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani did it against Miami in September 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cGot some good pitches to hit and after the third one I was like, \u2018Oh man, no kidding? I guess today\u2019s supposed to be my day,\u2019\u201d O\u2019Hearn said.<\/p>\n

In more ways than one. When O\u2019Hearn took Thomas deep to push his RBI total to 10, it also marked the 100th home run of his nine-year career. Not bad for a semi-late bloomer who didn\u2019t reach the majors until 25 and didn\u2019t become an All-Star until last season, just after turning 31.<\/p>\n

The Pirates saw enough to sign him to a two-year deal in the offseason, their first multiyear investment in a free agent in nearly a decade. O\u2019Hearn has embraced the role of clubhouse leader on a team trying to reach the postseason after 10-plus years in the wilderness. His 16 homers are one short of his career high of 17 set last season, and his record-setting night came just hours after Pittsburgh lost rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin for two months with a left hand injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to keep rocking,\u201d O\u2019Hearn said. \u201cWe have good players.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Hearn is one of them. Pirates manager Don Kelly wanted to give O\u2019Hearn a break late with Pittsburgh comfortably ahead, but didn\u2019t want to do it at the cost of robbing O\u2019Hearn of a shot at history.<\/p>\n

So O\u2019Hearn headed to the plate in the ninth, looking to become the 22nd player to hit four homers in a game. When he looked at the mound, he couldn\u2019t help but smile when he saw Braves infielder Jorge Mateo, whom O\u2019Hearn called a \u201cgood buddy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atlanta turned to Mateo to give the bullpen a breather in a blowout, and Mateo did what Waldrep and Harris couldn\u2019t by keeping O\u2019Hearn in the yard, though not off the bases. O\u2019Hearn laced a single to right field to complete a four-hit night and give the Pirates their third straight victory as ace Paul Skenes earned his first win in nearly two months.<\/p>\n

The reigning NL Cy Young winner gave up two runs on eight hits over six solid innings, walking one and striking out four. Skenes, who opted out of next week\u2019s All-Star Game and was replaced by teammate Braxton Ashcraft, also saw his velocity consistently stick in the 97-98 mph range after frequently dipping into the mid-90s during a loss to Philadelphia last week.<\/p>\n

Not that Skenes wanted to talk about it much. For once, his performance wasn\u2019t the story, even if he couldn\u2019t help but have a little fun at his teammate\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was kind of selfish, to be honest,\u201d Skenes deadpanned. \u201cEverybody else was getting on, and then, home runs are rally killers. You hit a three-run home run or a grand slam, and it\u2019s just like, what now? There\u2019s nobody on. Nobody can drive him in. Good for him, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n
