Ryan O’Hearn records 10 runs batted in: a first since Shohei Ohtani

Let's fast-forward to September 2024. Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers were in Miami… and on September 19, the Japanese star stepped up.

He recorded six hits, including three home runs, in addition to stealing two bases and driving in 10 runs. That night, he joined the 50/50 club and helped the Dodgers clinch a playoff spot.

It was his first time making the playoffs, and he would go on to win the World Series a few weeks later.

Since then, no other player had managed to drive in 10 runs in a single game. But last night, that changed.

Ryan O'Hearn, who was traded to Pittsburgh during the offseason, stood out last night. In a 12-4 win over the Braves, he drove in his team's first 10 runs.

He did it with four hits, including three home runs. And he received a huge ovation from the fans at PNC Park.

It's worth noting that, historically, only 17 players have recorded at least 10 RBIs in a single game.

Four of them had 11 or 12, and the other 13 had 10.

What's crazy about this is that we're talking about a performance that overshadowed what Paul Skenes did.

Yesterday, the pitcher was solid. He delivered a quality start, going six innings and allowing just two earned runs.

That's no big deal for him, but it was his first win in ten starts. And it takes something major for that not to be the top story in Pittsburgh during a Pirates game.

Speaking of which, Skenes joked with the media after the game, saying his teammate was selfish for not leaving anything for the others.

• Zack Wheeler is furious that he wasn't invited to the All-Star Game. He's implying it's because he wouldn't be available to pitch due to his schedule—even though he struck out 14 batters yesterday.

• Chants of “Brandon Nimmo” in New York.

• The Red Sox are no longer in last place in the East. The Orioles are behind them.

• Um…

• That's 300 for Shohei Ohtani.
