To say Bo Bichette has been on a hot streak for the Toronto Blue Jays would be an understatement.

The shortstop’s latest homer came in the top of the third inning on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles, after Bichette hit a double that appeared to bounce off top of the fence. Upon review by the umpires, however, the call was overturned and Bichette was given a home run — his fifth since the month began and his fourth in his past six at-bats.

Bichette has as many homers in September as he did in all of July and August combined.

Baseball watchers took to Twitter to react to the 24-year-old shortstop’s 22nd homer this season.

Bichette finished with four hits in the game, but the Blue Jays lost 9-6 to the Orioles.
