On a spectacular night in Arizona, history was created in a way few could have expected. The Arizona Diamondbacks star approached the plate. And what followed? An air show! With each swing, a sphere of stitched leather is sent flying over the outfield fence. How many times? Well, apparently, uncountable.

On April 26, 2025, at Chase Field, the stage was set. The Braves were ready to pitch, and the Diamondbacks’ 3B? He was ready to show some power at the plate. He smashed four home runs in a single game. A milestone! And this puts him among an elite group of only 19 players in Major League Baseball history to hit four homers in one game. And second in the clubhouse, after J.D. Martinez, who achieved this feat in 2017.

The name resonating across social media and the stadium: Eugenio Suarez – An Arizona Diamondbacks veteran known for power hitting.

The Braves’ starting pitcher, Grant Holmes, took it all the way to the sixth inning with three single home runs. The Diamondbacks were down in the ninth inning when Suarez hit his fourth home run of the game, tying the score at 7-7. But, Arizona fell! Yes, even after those home runs, they lost to the Atlanta Braves 8-7 in 10 innings. And the fans have gone gaga over the $66 million power-hitting.

But hold on! We are talking about baseball fans here!

Right after MLB’s official X account shared the post, “EUGENIO SUÁREZ 💣💣💣💣4 HOME RUNS IN ONE GAME!” a group of fans questioned his power hitting. They even suggested getting him a drug test.

Well, do you know there’s another feat he registered? He also became the first Venezuelan player to hit four home runs in a single MLB game. This amazing accomplishment was a turning point for Suarez. True that the Diamondbacks lost. But Suarez’s effort is among the most remarkable in modern baseball history.

And the sheer improbability of hitting four home runs in a single game obviously sent off a rush of responses, from unadulterated respect to total doubt.

Fan reactions: A mix of awe and skepticism for the Diamondbacks

Any unusual performance can raise suspicion in the professional sports world, where the pressure to succeed is immense and the stakes are high. And the same happened with Eugenio Suarez. The fans didn’t spare him. 

“That drug test is waiting on the top step for him when he gets back rounding the bases.” Why sudden urge for him to get tested? Given all four homers occurred in his first four at-bats, a sequence equaled by just a handful in MLB history, this emphasizes the absurd quality of his performance.

A two-word comment, but aligning on the same page, “Test him!” It’s a little hard to believe, but history has been made. There is skepticism over Suarez’s performance. Given the infrequency of four-homer games, this creates such doubt that it captures the amazement of seeing such a rare accomplishment. 

Not all were doubting his skills, though. But 4 home runs were a surprise for them. “I took him for 3x homers tonight, but never saw 4 WOW.” In the past, he has touched the feat of three home runs, and the same was expected when they saw it, but the fourth one was a bonus. It was worth it!

Echoing what others said, “Someone’s getting a random drug test tomorrow.”  The knowledge of how MLB’s testing procedures work suggests that such an eye-popping performance is likely to draw further attention. It’s looking more like a forecast of the probable effects of such a historic night.

A reminder to the Arizona Diamondbacks, “Dbacks better not lose.” The Diamondbacks might have lost the game, but the impact Suarez has on the roster is impeccable. And losing such a great player can backfire on the clubhouse.

The instant fan responses offer an interesting glimpse into the multifaceted feelings and thoughts that emerge in the world of professional sports. Although wonder and amazement were definitely there, so was some doubt —a reflection of the continuous struggle to preserve the game’s integrity.

But no matter what, amidst these comments, it was indeed a memorable Saturday night!
