UPDATE (2:40 p.m.) Let’s wish former Pirate Charlie Hayes a very happy 57th birthday. The father of Ke’Bryan spent part of the 1996 season with your Pirates.

UPDATE (11:06 a.m.) Ke’Bryan Hayes made history last night against Taylor Rodgers

Since ERA became an official stat in 1913, tonight is the only time a hitter with no homers in 150+ AB on the season (Ke'Bryan Hayes, @Pirates) stepped to the plate against a pitcher with a sub-0.50 season ERA in 20.0+ IP (Taylor Rogers) and hit a home run.
