Rooker, Langeliers hit HRs to help Athletics beat Mariners 6-1
Luis Severino (5-11) allowed a run on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts in five innings. Elvis Alvarado, Sean Newcomb — who struck out the side in the seventh — and Michael Kelly combined to pitch four scoreless innings of relief.
Langeliers hit a solo homer off Mariners starter Logan Evans (4-4), Soderstrom singled and Andujar followed with an RBI double to make it 6-0 in the fifth.
Rooker hit a three-run shot before Langeliers doubled and then scored on Andujar's double that made it 4-0 in the third.
Randy Arozarena hit a two-out single, stole second base and scored when Jorge Polanco singled in the fourth for the Mariners' run.
The Mariners struck out 11 times, left nine runners on base and were 1 of 7 with runners in scoring position.
After Polanco's RBI single got the Mariners on the board, Dominic Canzone singled and Ben Williamson walked to load the bases but Severino got Cole Young — the potential go-ahead run — to ground out and end the inning.
Arozarena has 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases this season, his fifth consecutive 20/20 season. The 30-year-old is tied with Mike Trout for third most 20/20 seasons in American League history behind Alex Rodriguez (six) and José Ramírez (seven). Ramírez is the only other player in MLB to accomplish the feat in each of the past five seasons.
Bryan Woo (8-5, 2.91 ERA) is set the take the mound on Wednesday against Jeffrey Springs (9-7, 4.13) to conclude a three-game set.

Airdrie athlete Brodie Young hopes medal win boosts Commonwealth Games bid
Airdrie athlete Brodie Young hopes he's done enough to secure a Commonwealth Games place after winning bronze at the European Under-23 Championships in Norway. The Airdrie Harrier recorded a PB 45.34 to take third place in the men's 400m final in Bergen on July 19, which is inside the Commonwealth Games qualifying mark for Glasgow 2026. And he hopes it's a platform to build on for his career. READ MORE: Airdrie father-daughter hairdressing duo reach finals of British Hairdressing Awards 2025 READ MORE: Massive £3.6million cocaine haul uncovered after major Glasgow drugs raid Young, who is a student at the University of New Mexico, finished just six hundredths of a second off the silver medal. The 22-year-old said: 'It feels really good. Going into it, I wasn't overly expecting to come away with a medal, I was more just there to try and run a fast time – but I was happy to get both. 'That's me got the qualifying mark now, there are two rounds of selection – one at the start of October, one at the start of June – so hopefully now I have the standard, I'll get selected in one of those rounds. 'But I'm not 100 per cent sure on which one it will be. 'The whole final was really competitive, there were a lot of fast boys running in it. 'The weather was also really hot, so it was really difficult and challenging, and there were a lot of different factors. 'The last section of the race was really difficult, but there was that motivation with a medal being on the line, and that's what pushed me through it.' Young has targeted Glasgow 2026, and says Bergen has given him a real boost. He said: 'It's something I can build on, and it gives me a lot of motivation, especially moving on to next year, because the Commonwealth Games is going to be the main target. 'Being able to walk away with a European medal gives me a lot more confidence, going into training over the winter and starting my season. 'I'm going to be in the States for a while, but it's great over in New Mexico, with great facilities and coaches, and everything I've needed. 'It has really helped me this year, and having good team-mates there has pushed me on and aided me for how I've performed.' It was a good weekend for Scottish athletes in Bergen, with Alyson Bell winning gold with the GB and NI women's 4x100m team, and Rebecca Grieve also took top prize with the GB women's 4x100m, in a championship record of 3:26.52.
