Athletics Defeat Mets in Longest Nine-Inning Game
News summary

In a remarkable comeback, the Oakland Athletics defeated the New York Mets 7-6 in the longest nine-inning game of the MLB pitch-clock era, lasting 3 hours and 45 minutes with 425 combined pitches. JJ Bleday hit his first career grand slam, while Shea Langeliers reached base five times, contributing to the A's rally from a 5-0 deficit. Despite leaving a season-high 16 runners on base, Oakland's resilience shone through, with key plays from Tyler Nevin and Seth Brown leading to the eventual win. Mason Miller secured the first six-out save of his career, capping off a game that felt particularly lengthy due to numerous scoring opportunities and pitcher struggles. The Mets, who have lost five of their last six, are now two games behind the Atlanta Braves in the wild-card race. The previous record for a nine-inning game was set at 3 hours and 44 minutes during a Padres-Giants matchup in Mexico City last year.
