Athletics activate C Shea Langeliers from the 10-day injured list
TAMPA, Fla. — Shea Langeliers is back with the Athletics after the veteran catcher was sidelined for 3 1/2 weeks with a strained left oblique. Langeliers was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He was in the starting lineup for the opener of a three-game series at Tampa Bay. The A's also brought up right-hander Justin Sterner and outfielder Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas. Outfielder JJ Bleday, catcher Willie MacIver and right-hander Tyler Ferguson were sent down. The 27-year-old Langeliers got hurt when he fouled off a pitch from Minnesota's Kody Funderburk on June 5. He went 8 for 13 with a homer and four RBIs in three rehab games with Las Vegas. Langeliers, a first-round pick in the 2019 amateur draft, is batting .237 with 10 homers and 27 RBIs in 56 games with the A's. ___ AP MLB:

(AP Photo/Scott Marshall) WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Nick Kurtz hit a two-run homer off closer Josh Hader in the 10th inning to give the Athletics a 6-4 victory over the Houston Astros on Thursday night. Willie McIver launched his first major league homer and drove in two runs for the Athletics. Lawrence Butler and Jacob Wilson also connected on solo shots as the A's won their fifth in seven games. Advertisement The A's regrouped after blowing a 4-1 lead in the eighth when Victor Caratini hit a three-run homer with two outs on the first pitch from closer Mason Miller. Tyler Soderstrom began the bottom of the 10th as the automatic runner at second base and moved to third on a wild pitch. Hader (4-1) struck out Max Muncy before Kurtz smashed a 2-1 sinker to center field for his second game-ending homer against Houston in four days. Michael Kelly (1-0) retired three batters for the win. McIver, the A's rookie catcher who made a rare pitching appearance and threw a scoreless inning in relief Tuesday, had another memorable moment when he drilled a 2-0 fastball from Astros starter Colton Gordon over the fence in center. Two batters later, Butler connected for his 11th homer of the season. Advertisement Key moment After the A's put runners at the corners with nobody out in the eighth, Astros reliever Bryan Abreu got out of it with consecutive swinging strikeouts and a weak groundout. Key stat The A's have allowed 70 home runs at Sutter Health Park, the most given up by a home team in the majors this season. Up next Astros RHP Hunter Brown (8-3, 1.88 ERA) faces the Angels in Anaheim on Friday. Athletics LHP Jeffrey Springs (5-5, 4.52) pitches against the Guardians at home Friday. ___ AP MLB:
