Should a batter hit a grand slam home run to end a game (a so-called walk off grand slam), the batter would be credited with 4 RBIs, no matter what the score was at the time. When a home run ends a game, all runs count, unlike another base hit that scores the winning run or runs. In that case only enough runs that put the team ahead counts..not so for home runs.
