A rain delay postponed the 1:10 p.m. ET start time by 61 minutes. At 2:13 p.m., the second batter of the game, Semien, opened the scoring with a home run to left. Davis lifted his 28th home run of the season on a 1-1 pitch in the fourth; half of Davis' 14 hits in July are homers. After the Mets evened the game at 2 in the sixth, Chapman's second towering shot to left in as many days broke the tie.
A's starter Daniel Gossett entered with an 0-3 record and 6.75 ERA over his past four starts, but that affected him little as he outmatched Montero, pitching six innings of two-run ball with six strikeouts.
