NEW YORK — Shea Langeliers hit a three-run homer off former batterymate Paul Blackburn and went 4 for 4 again, powering the Oakland Athletics to a 9-4 win over the skidding New York Mets. Langeliers had two doubles and missed the cycle by a triple. It was the second consecutive four-hit game for the catcher, who was 4 for 4 against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Seth Brown opened the scoring with a three-run double against Blackburn in the first inning before Langeliers capped a four-run third with a 406-foot homer. Miguel Andujar and Langeliers each had a run-scoring hit off José Buttó in the sixth.
