A's Crush Mariners, Extend Road Streak

0:00On April 22nd, the Oakland Athletics kept their road dominance rolling with a 5-2 win over the Seattle Mariners last night. Shay Langaleers crushed his eighth homer of the season, a 417-foot blast to center in the seventh, marking his second straight. Night Going Deep, starter, Jacob Lopez delivered into the sixth, and the A's now boasts seven consecutive road victories. Jeff McNeill added his own homer for Oakland, building on their hot streak against the Mariners squad that's dropped six of their last eight. Seattle's Cal Raleigh tried shaking an early slump, smacking his fourth homer of the year, his second and two nights, but his average sits at. 177 after 60 bombs last season, Raleigh connected in the fifth to tie things at 2-2, following a sacrifice fly from Josh Naylor off Lopez, who gave up just those two runs in. 5-3 innings, Julio Rodriguez stayed hot too, going 2-3 with a walk to push his on-base streak to 18 games. The A's pulled ahead for good in the sixth, when Jacob Wilson doubled home the go-ahead runoff Mariners reliever Edaward Bazardo.
