Overview
- The Athletics, who broke the game open with a five-run third Saturday at Citi Field, beat the Mets 11-6 behind Tyler Soderstrom’s two home runs.
- Carlos Cortes added a three-run homer in that third inning off Kodai Senga to cap the outburst.
- Jacob Lopez earned the win with five innings as Senga was tagged for a career-high seven runs after entering the day with four allowed in his first two starts.
- New York cut the deficit with a two-run shot by Bo Bichette and solo homers by Francisco Alvarez and Jorge Polanco before Soderstrom’s eighth-inning three-run blast put the game away.
- The result pushed Oakland to four straight wins and five of six, while the Mets fell to a four-game skid after a brief four-game run, with the series finale set for Sunday.
