like what makes it count as 3 runs? what's the difference between this and just a normal home run by the batter?

The batter who hit the home run scores one run. Additional runs (1, 2, or 3) are scored by any teammates already on base at the time the HR was hit.

A three-run homer is when the batter hits a home run with two men on base. The two baserunners and the hitter all score on the play, hence the three runs.

Heres the thing,you need to have two people on any base,than the next hitting hits a homerun.Therefore three people will score,that is why its call a 3 run homerun.For example,a runeron third and second,the next batter hits a homerun and they all scores.

Very simple...it's based on the number of runners on base.
In your example, there would be 2 runners on base when the batter hits the homer. The 2 runners on base would score, along with the batter, making it a 3 run homer.
