MLB Twitter astounded by Trayce Thompson's stunning home run hat-trick against Diamondbacks: "My goodness; have a day"

Trayce Thompson's performance against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night left the MLB world astounded. The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder put on a stunning display of power hitting, hitting three home runs to help his team secure a much-needed victory.

Thompson's first home run came in the first innings, during his first at bat of the season. He hit it off Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Baumgarner to give the Dodgers an early 5-0 lead. It was a sign of things to come as Thompson continued to deliver with the bat throughout the game.

In the sixth inning, Thompson hit his second home run of the game, this time a three-run shot against right-handed pitcher Kevin Ginkel. The Diamondbacks tried to mount a comeback, but Thompson wasn't finished yet.

During the eighth inning, Trayce Thompson capped off his incredible night with a solo homer off Carlos Vargas. His performance made him only the eighth player in Dodgers history to drive in at least eight runs in a game.

Thompson's performance was not just impressive in its own right but also significant for the Padres' season. After a slow start to the year, the team was looking to turn things around, and Thompson's display was a much-needed boost.

He's one of the players they will depend on throughout the season. They acquired him from the Tigers last spring, and he has shown his quality from the start. Last season, he proved his mettle by hitting 13 homers and posting a .901 OPS in just 74 games.

MLB fans on Twitter were abuzz with excitement over Thompson's incredible performance. One fan:
