Athletics News
The Athletics' 2026 season is already off to a frustrating start, with a heart-wrenching 8-7 extra-inning loss against the Toronto Blue Jays that saw the bullpen squander a four-run lead. Despite Shea Langeliers' remarkable performance,hitting three home runs in the first two games, a feat that puts him alongside baseball legends,his efforts were overshadowed by a shaky relief corps that failed to secure the win. Luis Severino delivered a solid five innings, yet it wasn't enough to prevent the team from dropping to 0-2. With the season barely underway, the A's desperately need to find consistency in the bullpen and capitalize on Langeliers' hot bat as they aim for their first victory in the next matchup against the Blue Jays.
