Athletics C Shea Langeliers (Oblique) Homers in Return From IL
- The Athletics rallied in the ninth inning to secure a 6-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday evening in Tampa, Florida.
- The Rays, coming off a recent loss and having won 10 of 11 after a defeat, faced challenges including a shortened start by Drew Rasmussen due to workload caution.
- Shea Langeliers launched a three-run home run during his initial at-bat after returning from the injured list, and Lawrence Butler's two-run triple in the ninth inning broke the tie to give the Athletics the lead.
- Rasmussen threw 54 pitches over three innings before the bullpen kept the Rays close, but a botched eighth-inning rally and strong Athletics defense preserved the win.
- This loss marked Tampa Bay’s third in four games and highlighted the Athletics’ resilience despite recent struggles and giving up 125 home runs this season.
