Pirates rookie Jack Suwinski homered not once, not twice, but three times as he powered his way into MLB’s history books Sunday
Suwinski saved his biggest swing of the day for last, drilling a slider from San Francisco sidearmer Tyler Rogers over the fence for his second walk-off home run this month after hitting one on June 4 against the Diamondbacks.
His father, Tim, was in the stands to see him on what turned into a very special Father’s Day for the Suwinski family. Suwinski is the second Pirates rookie to hit three homers in a game, joining Andrew McCutchen who did so in 2009. He also became the first Pirates player with multiple walk-off home runs in a single month since Wally Westlake pulled off the feat in Sept. 1947,Sunday’s outing was the highlight for what’s already turned into a remarkable season for Suwinski in Pittsburgh.
