Marcell Ozuna hit a solo home run off Giants right-hander Robbie Ray on May 8, 2026, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco. The blast, Ozuna's 300th career home run, his fourth of the 2026 season and his first on the road with the Pirates, left the bat at 104.7 mph with a 26 degree launch angle and traveled 365 feet. Ray had thrown an 84.7 mph slider that Ozuna drove for the run. The milestone gives Ozuna a clear career landmark while he works to justify Pittsburgh's $12 million offseason investment and provides the Pirates an immediate offensive boost.
