Pirates right fielder Ryan O’Hearn had a career night in Tuesday’s win going 4-for-5 with three home runs and 10 RBIs, snapping a six-game streak without a run driven in. O’Hearn, in his first season in Pittsburgh, broke into the league with the Royals in 2018 later spending parts of three seasons with the Orioles before being dealt to the Padres in a trade deadline deal in 2025. Now in his ninth season in Major League Baseball, O’Hearn is just two runs batted in away from tying his career high of 63 RBIs set last season.
