Tellez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Mariners.
Tellez gave the Pirates the lead on a two-run homer in the fourth inning and later added an RBI double in the seventh. While the long ball was his first since July 24, the first baseman has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games. He will continue to sit against left-handed pitchers but is batting .250 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI across 333 plate appearances in 2024.
