Ryan O’Hearn sets Pirates franchise RBI record with three homers vs. Braves

Ryan O’Hearn hit three home runs – a first‑inning grand slam, a three‑run blast in the third and another three‑run shot in the sixth – and drove in 10 runs as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Atlanta Braves 12‑4 at PNC Park on July 7, 2026. The performance broke the Pirates’ single‑game RBI record that had stood since 1939, when Johnny Rizzo drove in nine runs. O’Hearn’s 10 RBIs were also the most by any player in the major leagues this season and the first 10‑RBI game since Shohei Ohtani achieved the feat in September 2024. The left‑handed first baseman, a recent multi‑year free‑agent signing, became the 11th player in MLB history to hit three homers and record 10 RBIs in a game. His effort helped ace Paul Skenes earn his first win since May 12, snapping the Pirates’ nine‑game losing streak in his starts. The game also saw Atlanta starter Hurston Waldrep surrender seven runs in 3 1⁄3 innings. O’Hearn’s night highlighted Pittsburgh’s offensive surge and gave the team its third straight victory.
