West Sacramento A's Power Past Mariners 6-1, Rooker & Langeliers Homer

Wednesday, July 30th, 2025

The Oakland Athletics defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-1 on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in a MLB game held in West Sacramento, Calif. Key offensive contributions from Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers, who both hit home runs, along with Miguel Andujar's two hits and two RBIs, secured the win for the Athletics.

Game Highlights

The Athletics offense ignited in the third inning when Brent Rooker blasted a three-run home run. Following Rooker's shot, Shea Langeliers doubled and then scored on Miguel Andujar's double, extending the lead to 4-0. In the fifth inning, Langeliers hit a solo home run off Mariners starter Logan Evans. Soderstrom singled, and Andujar followed with an RBI double to make it 6-0.

Pitching Performance

Luis Severino (5-11) delivered a strong outing for the Athletics, allowing just one run on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts over five innings to earn the win. The Athletics' bullpen, comprised of Elvis Alvarado, Sean Newcomb — who impressively struck out the side in the seventh — and Michael Kelly, combined to pitch four scoreless innings of relief, effectively shutting down the Mariners' offense.

Mariners' Offense Struggles

The Seattle Mariners' lone run came in the fourth inning when Randy Arozarena singled with two outs, stole second base, and then scored on a single by Jorge Polanco. Despite this, the Mariners struggled to generate offense consistently, striking out 11 times, leaving nine runners on base, and going just 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position.

Key Moment

After Jorge Polanco's RBI single in the fourth inning put the Mariners on the scoreboard, Dominic Canzone singled and Ben Williamson walked, loading the bases for Seattle. However, Luis Severino kept the Athletics' lead intact by inducing Cole Young to ground out, ending the inning and preventing any further damage from what could have been a pivotal rally for the Mariners.

Player Milestone

Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena achieved a notable milestone, recording his fifth consecutive season with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. The 30-year-old is now tied with Mike Trout for the third-most 20/20 seasons in American League history, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (six) and José Ramírez (seven). José Ramírez is the only other player in Major League Baseball to accomplish this feat in each of the past five seasons.

Up Next

The three-game series between the Seattle Mariners and the Oakland Athletics will conclude on Wednesday. Mariners' Bryan Woo (8-5, 2.91 ERA) is scheduled to pitch against the Athletics' Jeffrey Springs (9-7, 4.13 ERA).

In Summary

The Oakland Athletics defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-1 on July 29, 2025, in West Sacramento, California. Home runs from Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers, combined with Miguel Andujar's strong hitting, powered the Athletics' offense. Pitcher Luis Severino earned the win, supported by four scoreless innings from the bullpen. The Mariners' offense struggled, managing only one run despite Randy Arozarena's 20/20 season milestone. The series concludes tomorrow with Bryan Woo pitching for Seattle and Jeffrey Springs for Oakland.
