Shea Langeliers homers twice to help the Oakland A’s snap a three-game losing streak
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – SEPTEMBER 17: Shea Langeliers #23 of the Oakland Athletics high-fives teammates after a game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on September 17, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. CHICAGO — Shea Langeliers homered twice, including a towering solo drive that cleared the Wrigley Field bleachers in left, and the Athletics beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Tuesday night.
“Obviously, had a really good changeup working. So just kind of hunting, trying to get the height right in the strike zone, and just being aggressive to the fastball, and hope you recognize the other stuff,” Langeliers told NBC Sports California. Of the 613 runs the A’s have scored this season, 308, or a staggering 50.2%, have been scored on home runs. That’s the highest percentage in the major leagues and in Oakland team history. The previous highest percentage for the A’s was 48.8% in 2017.
Happ’s 25th homer, a one-out drive to left on a 103.2 mph fastball from All-Star closer Mason Miller, got Chicago within one in the ninth. But Miller retired Dansby Swanson on a grounder to first before striking out Seiya Suzuki for his 26th save.Oakland rookie Mitch Spence pitched five effective innings for his first win since July 27. He permitted two runs and seven hits.
