Perez went deep in the first inning against Cleveland starter Parker Messick, giving him 13 long balls for the season.

Hurter (4-3) worked around a hit to toss 1.1 scoreless innings of relief and earn the win Thursday against the Guardians. He struck out two.

Langeliers went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored during the Athletics' 11-5 loss to the Astros on Thursday.

Langeliers maintained his hot streak at the plate by collecting four hits for a second consecutive game and combined with Nick Kurtz for seven of the Athletics' 12 hits in Thursday's loss. Langeliers' efforts over his last two games has improved his season-long batting average to .271 over 514 plate appearances, and his stats since the All-Star break have been especially impressive, as he's batting .319/.360/.646 with 19 home runs and 39 RBI over 55 games. The 27-year-old catcher will look to end the 2025 season on a high note during the Athletics' three-game weekend home series against the Royals.

Kurtz went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during the Athletics' 11-5 loss to the Astros.

The Athletics trailed by as many as 10 runs in Thursday's contest, but Kurtz gave the home fans something to cheer for with a solo homer in the sixth inning and a two-run shot in the eighth. It was Kurtz's third multi-homer game of the season, and his 35 long balls lead all rookies and rank 12th in the majors. He has a 1.010 OPS in 477 plate appearances this season, which ranks second in the majors behind Aaron Judge (1.140) among players with at least 450 plate appearances.

Ginn (4-7) took the loss against the Astros on Thursday, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four across 3.2 innings.

It was a rough final outing of the season for Ginn, who gave up five runs through the first two innings before yielding two more runs in the fourth. He managed to generate 13 whiffs on 81 pitches (47 strikes), but the seven runs he gave up were his most of the season -- a disappointing end to the 2025 campaign after he entered Thursday's contest having yielded two earned runs or fewer in each of his prior three starts. With the Athletics eliminated from playoff contention, Ginn will end the season with a 5.08 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 99:31 K:BB across 90.1 innings.
