The Oakland Athletics defeated the New York Mets 13-7 in the first game of their three-game series, led by Shea Langeliers' impressive performance, going 4 for 4 with 4 RBIs. Seth Brown’s bases-clearing double in the first inning set the tone, and Langeliers' three-run homer in the third further extended the lead. Despite the Mets' effort to fight back with Pete Alonso driving in two runs in the fifth, they couldn't overcome the deficit, marking their fourth consecutive loss. The Mets and Athletics' match was the first meeting this season between the two teams, with the Mets struggling recently, losing four out of their last six games.
