A’s catcher Shea Langeliers comes up a single short of the cycle in big win over Texas
Oakland Athletics’ Shea Langeliers hits a two-run home run during the second inning in the first baseball game of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers, Wednesday, May 8, 2024, in Oakland, Calif. OAKLAND — The Athletics snapped a three-game losing streak by utilizing extra-base power and deploying closer Mason Miller with a five-run lead in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday at the Coliseum.
“It was one of the grittier ones, one of those days you have to go in and feel OK with your body,” Sears said between games. “You hope that those are the days that the offense played like it did today. We had a lot of good defense today and were swinging the bats really well on our side.” Texas starter Michael Lorenzen departed with a 6-4 deficit after six innings, giving up six earned runs with two walks and six strikeouts. The Rangers fell to 21-17. Cole Winn came on in the seventh, and after hitting Abraham Toro with a pitch and walking J.J. Bleday, served up a three-run home run to Rooker to put the Athletics up 9-4.
The Rangers went up 4-2 in the fourth on a first-pitch two-run home run by Tavares, their No. 9 hitter. Ezequiel Duren reached on an infield single to open the inning, and after Davis Wendzel was retired on a grounder, Schuemann speared a liner from Andrew Kninzer before Tavares delivered. It was the second big game for Langeliers against Rangers, having hit three home runs in Texas earlier this season. He came in hitting .179 and a .237 on base percentage. It didn’t go unnoticed he was a single away from the cycle going into his last at-bat.
