NEW YORK—Shea Langeliers hit a three-run home run off former batterymate Paul Blackburn and went 4 for 4 for a second consecutive game, powering the Oakland Athletics to a 9–4 win over the skidding New York Mets on Tuesday night.

Langeliers had two doubles and missed the cycle by a triple. Unaware he needed a triple for the cycle, Langeliers trotted into second base with a double into the right-field corner in the ninth inning.
