Pirates' Ryan O'Hearn sets club record with 10 RBIs during 3-homer night vs.
Braves
PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Ryan O'Hearn made history
on Tuesday night, setting a club record by driving in 10 runs on three homers
in a 12-4 win over Atlanta.
O'Hearn hit a grand slam off Atlanta starter Hurston Waldrep in the first,
added a three-run shot off Waldrep in the third and took Braves reliever Connor
Thomas deep with another three-run shot in the sixth.
O'Hearn's big night broke the franchise record of nine RBIs set by Johnny Rizzo
against St. Louis on May 30, 1939. The 10 RBIs by O'Hearn --- who signed a
multi-year free agent deal to join the Pirates in the offseason --- also marked
the most in the majors by a player this year.
O'Hearn missed a chance to join the exclusive four-homer club when he singled
in the ninth.
An All-Star last season while splitting time between Baltimore and San Diego,
O'Hearn also became the 16th player in Pittsburgh's 145-year history to hit
three homers in a game.
