Pirates rookie Jack Suwinski homered not once, not twice, but three times as he powered his way into MLB’s history books Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh.
Suwinski’s third and final home run came in the bottom of the ninth inning when he hammered a pitch over the wall in right field at PNC Park to give the Pirates a 4–3 victory over the Giants. In doing so, he became the first rookie in major league history to have a three-homer game that included a walk-off home run, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The 23-year-old Suwinski went yard twice earlier on Sunday as he helped the Pirates avoid a three-game sweep.
