On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 Oakland A’s catcher Shea Langeliers has been lighting it up with his bat. In the doubleheader on Wednesday he slugged for a two run home run and knocked in five run for a career five RBIs. In game two he proceeded to hit for three more RBIs against the Texas Rangers at the Coliseum.

#2 The A’s lost game two of the doubleheader 12-11. The Rangers Jonah Heim and Nathaniel Lowe both hit for three RBIs. The Rangers wound up winning three out of four in the four game series.

#3 The A’s tried to make a come back but fell short in the night cap scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning before Rangers reliever Kirby Yates shut the door on the A’s for his seventh save of the season getting the A’s Tyler Nevin to fly out to right field with runners at first and second.

#4 Langeliers was just seeing the ball well hitting a two run home run and got another RBI while hitting into a ground out. Langeliers surpasses former Oakland A’s right fielder Reggie Jackson for the most RBIs Jackson had seven and Langeliers picked up eight on Wednesday.

#5 The A’s open a three game series in Seattle on Friday night at T Mobile Field. The A’s starter will be RHP Paul Blackburn (3-1 ERA 3.00) and for the M’s Bryan Woo (0-0 ERA 0.00) a 6:40pm PDT start.
