The Pittsburgh Pirates made history by smashing a franchise-record seven home runs in a 14-2 victory over the New York Mets. Bryan Reynolds and Rowdy Tellez led the charge, becoming the first teammates in MLB history to hit multiple homers with grand slams in the same game. Reynolds tied a career-high with six RBIs, continuing a hot streak that started with a 25-game hitting streak in June. The Pirates scored all 14 runs via home runs, running out of fireworks in the process. Rookie pitcher Paul Skenes shined, allowing two runs in seven innings while setting a record for the most strikeouts in the first 10 games of a career. The Pirates' struggling offense provided ample support, with Michael A. Taylor and other players contributing to the historic win.
