NEW YORK (AP) — Shea Langeliers showcased an impressive performance, hitting a three-run homer and going 4 for 4, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 9-4 victory against the struggling New York Mets on Tuesday night. This marks Langeliers' second consecutive game with four hits, having achieved the same feat against the Toronto Blue Jays just days prior. Alongside Langeliers, Miguel Andujar contributed with a run-scoring hit in the sixth inning, further solidifying the Athletics' offensive dominance. Austin Adams, who recently joined the Athletics after a brief stint with the Mets, earned the win despite inheriting a challenging situation with two runners on base and no outs. He successfully struck out Jeff McNeil, retired Jose Iglesias on a popup, and whiffed Francisco Alvarez, showcasing his resilience on the mound. After his performance, Adams playfully mimicked the Mets’ “OMG” celebration, adding a light-hearted moment to the game. On the injury front, the Athletics are monitoring shortstop Jacob Wilson, who is expected to work out at Triple-A Las Vegas before starting a rehab assignment. Manager Mark Kotsay noted that catcher Tyler Soderstrom is making progress in recovering from a left wrist injury. Meanwhile, the Mets faced their own injury challenges, with designated hitter J.D. Martinez leaving the game after being hit by a pitch. The three-game series continues Wednesday night, featuring Athletics right-hander Joey Estes against Mets left-hander David Peterson.
