Semien doubled twice, scored a run and drove in another across five at-bats Sunday in the Athletics' 8-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Semien is now up to 42 doubles on the season, placing in a three-way tie for fifth place in the majors. Additionally, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports the one time Semien crossed the plate Sunday pushed him past Ricky Henderson and into a second-place tie with Jose Canseco for second-most runs in a season (120) in franchise history. The 29-year-old's huge power spike and improved defense in 2019 should at the very least earn him some down-ballot American League MVP votes once the season concludes.
