Shea Langeliers led the Oakland Athletics to a 9-4 victory over the New York Mets with an impressive 4-for-4 performance, including a three-run homer off his former teammate Paul Blackburn. Langeliers also hit two doubles and narrowly missed a cycle, unaware that he needed a triple when he settled for a double in the ninth inning. This marked his second consecutive game with four hits, raising his batting average from .208 to .226. Manager Mark Kotsay praised Langeliers for his offensive threat when in form, as he previously struggled with his batting. The Athletics' victory improved their overall record to 51-69, while the Mets continued to struggle at 61-58. Langeliers' recent surge in performance could provide a significant boost for fantasy baseball managers as the season progresses.
