Semien was 4-for-4 on Friday night with two runs, bumping his average up to .244.

EDGE Analysis

Semien has provided nice power this season with 23 bombs, but his batting average has been a concern most of the season. It was a good sign to see Semien put together four knocks to raise his average seven points in one night, but even better than all four hits were line drives. With all the A's injuries and roster moves, Semien will likely spend more time near the top of the lineup, which will benefit his run and RBI numbers to go with the power.
