A’s watch late lead slip away in 4-3 loss to Mets

Shea Langeliers put the Oakland Athletics in front in the eighth inning, but the bullpen was unable to hold it in a 4-3 loss to the New York Mets.

JP Sears allowed a leadoff single to Brandon Nimmo to start the game, but then retired Starling Marte, Francisco Lindor on fly outs and then struck out Pete Alonso to leave the runner stranded. Sears retired Mark Canha to start the second, but then allowed a solo home run to Tommy Pham to give the Mets a 1-0 lead. Jeff McNeil followed with a single, but was erased as Eduardo Escobar bounced into a double play.
