Athletics get late homers from Langeliers, Wilson and Kurtz in 8-2 win over Guardians
Luis Severino (3-11) gave up three hits in five innings for the win — allowing only José Ramírez's two-run homer in the third. All three of Severino's wins have come on the road.
Jack Perkins struck out three in three scoreless innings and Justin Sterner pitched the ninth to close it out.
Nolan Jones had a two-out single off Severino in the third before scoring on Ramírez's 19th home run for a 2-0 lead. Ramírez is 6 for 14 with four homers against Severino in his career.
Brent Rooker, Kurtz and Langeliers hit three straight doubles to start the fourth against Logan Allen (6-8), tying the score. Miguel Andujar singled for a fourth consecutive A's hit and a 3-2 lead.
Allen allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Kurtz led off the eighth against Nic Enright with another double and Langeliers followed with his 14th homer for a 5-2 advantage.
Denzel Clarke tripled with one out in the ninth and finished a homer shy of the cycle. Wilson followed with his 10th homer and Kurtz capped the scoring with his 18th, which leads all rookies.
Enright gave up two runs on three hits and retired four batters. Kolby Allard allowed both homers in the ninth.
Key moment
Langeliers hit a 0-2 pitch from Enright for an opposite-field homer to right to give the A's a three-run cushion.
Key stat
Cleveland has won 20 of the last 25 matchups with the Athletics.

Tennessee Titans waive/injured WR Treylon Burks
The Tennessee Titans made a roster move on Tuesday after practice, waiving the injured Treylon Burks. Burks fractured his clavicle in practice on Saturday and will miss the beginning of the season while he heals. He has yet to play a full NFL season, last season appearing in just five games for the Titans. The former first-round pick out of Arkansas played in 11 games during his rookie campaign, and simply matched that in his second season before landing on injured reserve in 2024. He has not lived up to the first-round-pick expectations that teams put on players, so it's not surprising that the Titans are choosing to move on. However, because he's injured, if a team claims him off of waivers, he will revert to injured reserve and be subject to an injury settlement, should the Titans go that route. Given his injury history and lack of on-field production, Burks is hardly a player that teams clamor for. However, he still has a ton of upside if he can stay healthy. It just didn't pan out for the Titans. This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: Titans waive/injured WR Treylon Burks

Dusty Baker to manage Nicaragua in 2026 World Baseball Classic
Nicaragua on Monday named Dusty Baker, a World Series champion, three-time manager of the year and the eighth-winningest manager in major league history, to manage the team in next year's World Baseball Classic. The national baseball team said Baker will be on the bench when Nicaragua tries to improve on its 19th-place finish in the 2023 WBC. Baker, 76, managed for 26 years, leading five major league teams to division titles before retiring in 2023. He was a two-time All-Star and helped the Dodgers win the 1981 World Series as a player, then managed Houston to the 2022 World Series title. Nicaragua went 3-0 in qualifying for the WBC and will play in Group D in Miami against Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands and Israel. ___ AP MLB:
