"Bro playing The Show in real life" "Holy s*** 7! Dude was having a field day on their pitchers" - Fans in disbelief after Texas Rangers slugger Marcus Semien has a career day

Marcus Semien had one of the best days in recent MLB history against the Cleveland Guardians. It was a doubleheader between the Texas Rangers and Cleveland Guardians, and Marcus Semien ensured his mark on the games was felt. With seven hits and three home runs across the two games, the 10-year veteran was by far the best player in the stadium.

Sportscenter posted the statistics and an accompanying video to Twitter, and it needs to be seen to be believed.
