Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.

Langliers crushed an 0-2 curveball over the right-field fence in the eighth inning for his first career home run. The rookie now has extra-base hits in each of his two starts this season, picking up right where he left off in Triple-A, where he maintained a .510 slugging percentage. Oakland currently boasts one of the better offensive catchers in the majors in Sean Murphy, so Langliers figures to continue filling in as the designated hitter or slotting in behind the dish during Murphy's off days.
