On April 26, 2025, at Chase Field, the atmosphere was electric. The Braves prepared to pitch, but it was Suárez who stole the show. He blasted four home runs in a single game, achieving a rare milestone that places him among only 19 players in Major League Baseball history to accomplish the feat. He also became the second player in Diamondbacks’ history to do so, after J.D. Martinez achieved it back in 2017.
The name that echoed throughout the stadium and across social media was Eugenio Suárez — a veteran known for his raw power at the plate. The Braves’ starter, Grant Holmes, allowed three of Suárez’s homers through the sixth inning. Then, in the ninth inning, with the Diamondbacks trailing, Suárez hit his fourth home run, tying the game at 7-7. Despite his heroic performance, Arizona eventually fell to the Braves, losing 8-7 in extra innings. Nevertheless, Suárez’s explosive night had fans in awe, celebrating the team’s $66 million slugger.
After MLB’s official account shared the news of Suárez’s achievement, fan reactions poured in. Some were thrilled, while others were skeptical, suggesting Suárez should undergo drug testing after such an incredible performance. Despite the doubts, one thing was clear — history had been made.
Adding to the historical significance, Suárez became the first Venezuelan player ever to hit four home runs in a single MLB game. While the Diamondbacks didn’t secure the win, Suárez’s effort stood out as one of the most remarkable single-game performances in recent memory.
The debate among fans quickly ignited: Should Suárez’s performance be celebrated without question, or should skepticism be considered? In the world of professional sports, where the pressure to excel is immense, extraordinary achievements often invite scrutiny.
Some fans joked that a drug test would be waiting for Suárez as he rounded the bases. The sheer improbability of hitting four home runs in one game, particularly in the first four at-bats, made many view the accomplishment with a mixture of amazement and suspicion. This rare sequence has only been matched by a few players throughout MLB’s long history.
Not everyone doubted Suárez’s abilities. Some fans were simply stunned, having predicted a strong performance but not expecting four home runs. One fan mentioned they expected three, but the fourth homer was a delightful surprise.
Others humorously suggested that a random drug test was inevitable after such an incredible showing. In Major League Baseball, standout performances are often followed by mandatory testing, making the jokes seem almost predictive.
Some fans also highlighted that the Diamondbacks needed to capitalize on Suarez’s momentum, warning that the team should not squander the influence and energy he brings. Although the team lost, Suárez’s individual performance left an undeniable mark.
Fan reactions provided a snapshot of the broader emotions professional sports stir — wonder, doubt, admiration, and concern for fairness. Despite the skepticism, the night remained one of the most memorable in recent baseball history.
Through all the cheers and debates, it was a Saturday night that will be remembered for a long time.
