Semien, who went 1-for-4 with a two-run double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Sunday, is 13-for-31 with two doubles, two home runs and nine RBI over his last seven games.
EDGE Analysis
Semien's bat has been among the most lethal in the Athletics lineup in June, and his aforementioned hot streak has boosted his average 19 points to .272. The veteran shortstop is doing an excellent job out of the leadoff spot this season in terms of setting the table effectively, as his .359 on-base percentage easily ranks as the highest of his career.

Semien went 3-for-4 with three RBI from a pair of run-scoring singles, a walk and two runs in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.
EDGE Analysis
Semien made plenty of noise from the top of the order, generating his first three-hit effort since April 14 in the process. The veteran shortstop also compiled his first RBI of June and snapped out of a brief 1-for-17 funk that had encompassed his last four games. Factoring in Wednesday's production, Semien is slashing a solid .260/.351/.402 across 282 plate appearances, with his average just a point shy of a career best and his on-base percentage representing a new high-water mark.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a walk, stolen base and run in a win over the Indians on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Semien put together another rock-solid leadoff effort and hit safely for the fourth straight game in the process. The veteran shortstop has racked up four extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple) during that span as well, and he's boosted his season average back up eight points after it had dropped to a season-low .259 last Friday following an 0-for-4 showing versus the Tigers.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI triple and a run in against the Tigers on Sunday in a game suspended in the seventh inning due to rain.
EDGE Analysis
Semien's pair of extra-base hits snapped a brief 0-for-8 slump that had encompassed his prior two games. Semien also launched a homer in the opening game of the series Thursday, which, coupled with Sunday's production, comprise his three extra-base hits thus far in May. The veteran shortstop also continues to display a discerning eye at the plate, as he's already drawn 11 walks in May to help push his on-base percentage to a career-best .355.
