Langeliers embodies Athletics' grit in statement win over Yankees
Langeliers embodies Athletics' grit in statement win over Yankees originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area There has been no quit in the Athletics early on in the 2025 MLB season, regardless of who the opponent is or how frantic the game's storyline could be. Advertisement And there's plenty of proof of that, including the A's thrilling 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday at Sutter Health Park. Through five innings, the Green and Gold held a three-run lead before pitcher Justin Sterner allowed a five-run sixth by the Yankees. The Athletics, having suffered a series-opening loss to the Yankees on Friday, had to dig deep and look for a comeback. 'Last night after the game, I sensed there was more emotion and anger in the group that I've seen all year,' Athletics manager Mark Kotsay told reporters after the win. 'Obviously, it kind of filtered over to today. Advertisement 'They showed what they're made of and the grit that they have. The belief that they have in themselves. That's just a great team win today.' Thankfully for the Athletics, Kotsay and Co. had Friday's loss to New York to leverage as fuel for a remarkable slugfest powered, in large part, by catcher Shea Langeliers. Langeliers hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh before following up in the eighth with a two-run double. The 27-year-old matched a career-high five RBIs on a four-hit afternoon. With the win, the A's (21-19) remain in second place in the American League West, and can rest assured that there's plenty of grit in West Sacramento this season.

WEST SACRAMENTO — Shea Langeliers had four hits and Nick Kurtz drove in a run with a base hit his first time up in his major-league debut to help the Athletics beat Texas 5-2 Wednesday on a night that saw the Rangers' Joc Pederson end a 0-for-41 slump with a pinch-hit double.

Tyler Soderstrom doubled and scored on a hit by Langeliers. Kurtz, the fourth pick in last year's draft, made it 3-0 with a two-out single and Gio Urshela added an RBI double. Rocker was done after a two-out walk to Soderstrom and a base hit by Langeliers in the second. Jacob Latz entered and walked JJ Bleday and Jacob Wilson to make it 5-0. Rocker allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk. JP Sears (3-2) gave up two runs on five hits with a walk and five strikeouts over five innings for the Athletics.

The A's scored four runs in the first inning and are batting .304 in the first inning this season, third highest in MLB. Key moment Kurtz came through in his highly anticipated debut. The Athletics shifted Soderstrom to left field to make room for the 6-foot-5, 22-year-old first baseman out of Wake Forest. Key stat The Athletics won for just the third time in 11 games at Sutter Health Park — their temporary home. Up next RHP Jacob deGrom (0-1, 3.32) makes his fifth start for the Rangers in Thursday's rubber game of the three-game series against RHP J.T. Ginn (1-1, 3.60), making his third start for the Athletics.
