8/5 7:52 PM Max Schuemann (SS/3B-Ath) [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Shea Langeliers makes Athletics, MLB history with three-homer game vs. Nationals. They don’t call him Bangeliers for nothing. Athletics catcher proved just what kind of pop he has Tuesday as he delivered three home runs in over the Washington Nationals in the nation’s capital. The 27-year-old didn’t just crank out the trio of homers, however, as he also finished the night with five hits — a career-first for the fourth-year pro. Langeliers also was on deck in the ninth inning before Max Schuemann made the A’s final out, just one batter reaching base away from another chance at either a fourth home run or a triple to complete the cycle. “Yeah, I mean obviously you always want the chance to be able to do something like that,” Langeliers told NBC Sports California’s Jenny Cavnar and Dallas Braden after the game when asked if he wanted another plate appearance. “Obviously, wasn’t in the cards tonight but all around, just an awesome night.” Leadoff Langeliers with a blast ?? — Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) Make that two Bangeliers homers ?? — Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) TRIPLE UP, SHEA ?? — Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) The first home run of the night was Langeliers’ 20 th of the 2025 MLB season, which also made him just the second Athletics catcher ever to have three or more seasons with 20-plus long balls, joining Gene Tenace, who owns the A’s record with four seasons accomplishing the feat. Langeliers has been on an absolute tear following the MLB All-Star break. He already has 10 home runs in just 17 games played since the Midsummer Classic, along with a .435 batting average and 1.430 OPS. While the hot bat is impressive, some numbers that Langeliers matched on Tuesday night are even more imposing. Langeliers also placed himself among some of the game’s greats behind the dish; he became just the fourth catcher in MLB history to have a pair of three-home run games in their career, joining Johnny Bench, Gary Carter and Travis d’Arnaud, per MLB’s Sarah Langs. Catchers with multiple 3-homer games: Shea Langeliers Travis d’Arnaud Gary Carter Johnny Bench — Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) Langeliers and d’Arnaud, per Langs, also are the only pair of catchers to hit three home runs out of the leadoff spot — where the A’s catcher never had hit until tonight’s game. “When they sent out the lineup, me and [Brent Rooker] kind of giggled because I thought it was like a, you know, a misprint or something,” Langeliers told Cavnar and Braden. “Like, they were just sending out the positions, but got to the field and I was in the leadoff spot, obviously I’ve never done that before and, yeah, I was just trying to be aggressive in the strike zone tonight and got the boys going in the first inning.” Catchers with 3-homer game out of leadoff spot: Today Shea Langeliers 7/15/19 Travis d’Arnaud — Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) Additionally, Langeliers added himself to another short list of catchers to hit 20-plus home runs in three of their first four years in the majors, as shared by MLB Stats. Shea Langeliers joins Cal Raleigh, Mike Piazza, Earl Williams and Rudy York as the only catchers to hit 20+ HR in 3 of their first 4 MLB seasons (min. 50% of games at catcher). — MLB Stats (@MLBStats) Aside from the major league records Langeliers matched, he also became the first A’thletics’s catcher to have a five-hit night since Dave Duncan over 50 years earlier in 1972, per MLB.com’s Martín Gallegos. Shea Langeliers (three homers, triple shy of the cycle) is the first A’s catcher with five hits in a game since Dave Duncan went 5-for-5 against Boston on July 12, 1972. — Martín Gallegos (@MartinJGallegos) Stay hot might have a whole other meaning when talking about the run Langeliers is currently on.

8/5 7:50 PM Logan Allen (P-CLE) Perfect Bullpen Performance Propels Guardians To Win Over Mets. The Cleveland Guardians' calling card for the past few seasons has been their dominant pitching, and that's exactly what propelled them to a 3-2, series-clinching win over the New York Mets on Tuesday evening. Logan Allen got the ball to start the game for the Guardians, but struggled with his command and pitch count early. The left-hander ended up settling in nicely, allowing just two earned runs and striking out six batters, but was only able to make 5.0 innings. First out of the bullpen was Matt Festa, who pitched a 1-2-3 sixth inning, including two strikeouts.

Kristian Campbell returned to the lineup for the Worcester Red Sox on Tuesday and picked up where he left off. He was pulled from the Triple-A team's game Saturday against Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies affiliate) after jamming his thumb. He sat out the series finale on Sunday. But Tuesday, in the opener of a six-game home series with the Buffalo Bisons (Toronto Blue Jays), his name was on the lineup card and in his first time at the plate, Campbell got a base hit. Again. The single up the middle gave Campbell a hit in 14 straight games, the longest for a member of the WooSox this season. He tied Ceddanne Rafaela for the second-longest streak in the club's history. Kristian Campbell has
