The Oakland Athletics pulled out a clutch win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday, thanks in large part to catcher Shea Langeliers' two home runs and four RBI.
With their 57th and final season in Oakland winding down, the Athletics got quite the clutch, historic performance out of their rising star catcher on Monday.
Austin Voth came in to face Langeliers, who was leading off the frame. The 26-year-old backstop worked his way to a full count, then turned on an inside sweeper and sent it 418 feet to left.Mickey Cochrane, Frankie Hayes and Terry Steinbach all had five such performances during their days with the A's. Like Langeliers, Gene Tenace also had four multi-home runs games, which is one more than Ramon Hernandez's three.
The former Atlanta Braves top prospect is now tied for fourth-most home runs by a primary catcher through three career MLB seasons, per StatsCentre.
