Jeff McNeil and Shea Langeliers Go Yard as A's Silence T-Mobile Park
The Oakland Athletics just walked into T-Mobile Park and left with a 5-2 victory, and Seattle's bats couldn't answer the bell. Jeff McNeil and Shea Langeliers both went deep, and that was enough to hand the Mariners an early loss that stings in mid-April.
The A's Strike First and Strike Hard
This wasn't a battle. McNeil and Langeliers connecting for homers gave Oakland all the offensive juice they needed, and the Mariners' lineup couldn't mount any kind of comeback. Two runs isn't going to cut it against a team that came to play, especially not this early in the season when every game feels like it matters.

The Mariners are still finding their rhythm in April, but nights like this one are the kind that linger. The A's came to the Emerald City and took care of business at the plate while Seattle's hitters left too many runners stranded. It's one game, but it's the kind of loss that can set a tone if the team doesn't bounce back fast.
Seattle looks to answer back in their next chance. The early season is still wide open, but performances like tonight won't cut it if this roster wants to compete day in and day out.
