Real or not? George Springer could be going from star to superstar

So George Springer had a pretty good Mother's Day as the Astros beat the Rangers 15-5:

First inning: Home run to left-center.

Second inning: Line drive single to left field.

Fourth inning: Line single to left field.

Fifth inning: Groundball single to right field.

Sixth inning: Home run to left-center.

Unfortunately, Springer was on deck for the final out of the eighth inning, so he missed an opportunity to go 6-for-6 for the second time in his career. Joe Morgan is the only other player in Astros history to go 6-for-6 and, according to the Baseball-Reference Play Index, the only players with two 6-for-6 games since 1908 are Doc Cramer and Jim Bottomley.
