Overview
- Shea Langeliers homered in the first, fifth and seventh innings off starter MacKenzie Gore, reliever Orlando Ribalta and reliever Andry Lara.
- He finished 5-for-6 with a double, 15 total bases, four runs scored and three RBIs to tie the record for most total bases by a catcher since 1900.
- His three-homer outburst made him the second catcher ever to do so from the leadoff spot and the first player since at least 1900 to hit three homers in his first leadoff game.
- The performance marked his second career three-homer game, joining Johnny Bench, Gary Carter and Travis d’Arnaud as the only catchers with multiple such nights.
- The Athletics collected 24 hits and notched a season-high 16 runs, turning around an inconsistent offense with a decisive victory over Washington.
