OAKLAND, Calif. – Oakland A’s catcher Shea Langeliers hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning. Aledmys Díaz and Brent Rooker followed that with solo homers in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively.
But once again, the A’s allowed too many runs — and far too many free passes – for Oakland’s offense to keep up.
The A’s pitching staff continued a historically bad start to the season Friday, allowing 17 hits, and an Oakland-record 17 walks Friday in a 17-6 loss to the New York Mets before an announced crowd of 11,102 at the Coliseum.
