The Oakland Athletics kept their hot streak alive on the road, beating the Seattle Mariners 5-2. Shea Langeliers launched a big home run, and Jacob Wilson came through with the go-ahead hit.
Jacob Lopez turned in a solid start, setting the stage for Oakland’s seventh straight road win. The A’s are hanging around in the mix as they look ahead to another game with Seattle.
Langeliers, Wilson deliver late and Langeliers adds insurance in 5-2 win over Seattle
Tyler Soderstrom got things rolling early with an RBI double in the first. That quick spark put Oakland up right away. Seattle answered back when Josh Naylor hit a sacrifice fly in the third. Then Cal Raleigh launched a solo homer in the fifth—his second straight game with a long ball, and his fourth this season.
The real turning point came in the sixth. Jacob Wilson ripped a double off Eduard Bazardo, putting the A’s ahead for good. In the seventh, Langeliers absolutely crushed a 417-foot homer to center for his eighth of the year, stretching Oakland’s lead to 4-2.
The A’s found another insurance run later, locking down the 5-2 win. Langeliers’ power keeps showing up when it matters, and Soderstrom’s early RBI helped set the tone.
- Shea Langeliers: 8th homer of the season, a 417-foot blast to center in the seventh
- Jacob Wilson: go-ahead double in the sixth off Eduard Bazardo
- Tyler Soderstrom: RBI double in the first inning
- Cal Raleigh: solo homer in the fifth; continues to hover around the plate for Seattle
- Julio RodrÃguez: 2-for-3 with a walk, extending his on-base streak to 18 games for Seattle
Pitching and bullpen notes
Jacob Lopez (2-1) gave up seven hits but managed to limit the damage through 5 1/3 innings. He worked efficiently enough to turn things over to the bullpen.
Scott Barlow, Hogan Harris, and Jack Perkins took it from there. Perkins especially stood out, retiring all six batters he faced for his first save of the year.
Seattle got a little something going late, but just couldn’t keep it rolling. Julio RodrÃguez stayed sharp with a couple of hits and a walk, keeping his on-base streak alive at 18 games. Still, after Raleigh’s homer, the Mariners’ offense just fizzled, and they dropped their second in a row after a pretty solid stretch.
What to watch next: cross-town adjustments and upcoming pitchers
Looking ahead to Wednesday’s matchup, the teams will tangle again. Aaron Civale (2-1, 3.54 ERA) gets the start for Oakland, while Seattle sends out Logan Gilbert (1-3, 4.03).
This series feels like a real test for both clubs as they try to climb the standings. They’re counting on their young hitters to keep the offense moving.
Oakland’s seven-game road winning streak adds some extra intrigue. Langeliers’ power and Wilson’s knack for clutch hits could keep that momentum going.
Seattle, meanwhile, needs more from its lineup outside of RodrÃguez and Raleigh. Will they find that spark?
