A’s Get First Mets Sweep With 1–0 Win, Cap 5–1 New York Trip

The surge highlights a pitching-first formula that has Oakland tied for first in the AL West.

Overview

  • Oakland completed a three-game sweep of the Mets with a 1-0 win at Citi Field, the franchise’s first sweep of New York’s National League club.
  • Nick Kurtz provided the only run with a solo homer, his first of 2026 after a slow power start.
  • Aaron Civale delivered 5 2/3 scoreless innings and, with four relievers, combined on a four-hitter for the shutout.
  • Freddy Peralta took a hard-luck loss for the Mets after allowing one run over six innings with six strikeouts.
  • The A’s finished the New York swing 5-1, moved into a tie atop the AL West, and did it with three shutouts during a five-game win streak that follows their first Mets sweep since the teams began regular-season meetings in 2005.
