Shea Langeliers hit a two-run homer in a four-run first inning and the Athletics beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Friday night. Brent Rooker had a sacrifice fly, Langeliers followed with his 19th home run and Carlos Cortez added a two-out RBI single as the A's built a 4-0 lead against Anthony DeSclafani. Rooker singled and scored on Tyler Soderstrom's second double of the game to make it 5-0 in the fourth.

Extend win-streak to three games

Newly-acquired pitcher Mason Miller brought the heat Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals for his first game as a Padre.

The Arizona Diamondbacks open a three-game series with the Athletics in Sacramento.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are entering the second phase of a 2025 season that has gone everywhere but according to plan. Arizona parted with three members of their offense and three pitchers at the MLB Trade Deadline, nearly gutting a team that had high expectations heading into the season. As difficult as it is to part with a player like Eugenio Suárez, his departure brought in an exciting new prospect in power-hitting first baseman Tyler Locklear, who will make his D-backs debut on Friday night.

Next World Series very far away.

The MLB trade deadline has finally passed, and the Arizona Diamondbacks can get back to the business of playing games unencumbered by the weight of that event. The D-backs are in Sacramento for three games against the Athletics at Sutter Home Park. Arizona is 51-58, in fourth place in the NL West, and nine games out of the NL Wild Card spot. The Athletics are 48-63, in last place in the AL West.

The Reds made one more trade at the MLB trade deadline, acquiring Miguel Andujar from the Athletics on Thursday.

The Cincinnati Reds just beat the trade deadline on Thursday, dealing minor league right-handed pitcher Kenya Huggins to the Athletics in exchange for Miguel Andujar. In a corresponding move, the Reds also transferred left-handed pitcher Wade Miley to the 60-day injured list. Primarily a third baseman with the A's this season, Andujar, 30, has also played left field, right field and first base.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — All-Star Game MVP Kyle Schwarber is deferring his selection to Indiana University's Athletics Hall of Fame to a future year because of a rule requiring all living inductees to attend the ceremony. Indiana's induction is set for Sept. 5, a day Schwarber's Philadelphia Phillies visit the Miami Marlins as they attempt to win their second straight NL East title.

Seems like whomever is playing center for the Athletics these days is capable of making ridiculous plays in the outfield. Denzel Clarke started the trend, becoming one of baseball's best defenders in his short time in the big leagues, but when he landed on the IL with a right adductor strain 10 days ago, Lawrence Butler took over in center and continued putting up highlight reel plays. After Seattle had scored twice on a Jorge Polanco two-run shot, the Mariners were in business after being shut down by lefty Jeffrey Springs for the first six innings. With two away, Dominic Calzone drove a ball to right-center that would have been a home run in 11 of MLB's 30 ballparks, and it went over the short fence for a brief moment--before it ran into the Law.
