On August 25, 2025, the Oakland Athletics hosted the Detroit Tigers at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, in front of 8,105 fans. The game, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes, saw the A's overcome an early deficit to secure an 8-3 victory, highlighted by a dramatic comeback in the seventh inning. Shea Langeliers delivered the game's defining moment with a go-ahead grand slam off reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, turning a one-run deficit into a three-run lead. This win marked the Athletics' continued strong performance in the second half of the season, boasting the second-best record in MLB at 19-10 since July 24, showcasing their young core's potential. The Tigers jumped to a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning, thanks to a solo home run by Gleyber Torres and a two-RBI double by Wenceel Perez off A's starter J.T. Ginn. However, the Athletics responded resiliently. They scratched across a run before the seventh, setting the stage for their rally. In the bottom of the seventh, Colby Thomas led off with a solo home run to narrow the gap to 3-2. With the bases loaded and two outs, following a series of hits and two errors by Tigers' Zach McKinstry, Langeliers crushed a 2-1 sinker 450 feet to left-center field for his second career grand slam, scoring Darell Hernaiz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Brett Harris, and giving the A's a 6-3 advantage. The Athletics added insurance in the eighth with a two-run homer from rookie Nick Kurtz, his 26th of the season, finalizing the score at 8-3. Player performances shone brightly, with Langeliers going 1-for-4 with four RBIs, capping a scorching August where he hit 11 home runs, tying for the second-most in franchise history for the month. His season total reached 29 homers, placing him second in A's history for a catcher in a single season. Rookie J.T. Ginn pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs while striking out eight. Reliever Michael Kelly earned the win (4-2) by escaping a bases-loaded jam in the seventh. On the Tigers' side, Skubal struck out 12 over 6 2/3 innings but suffered the loss (11-4) after surrendering the grand slam, his first in the regular season. This victory underscored the A's ability to compete against elite pitching and their emerging talent, with Langeliers drawing comparisons to top catchers like Cal Raleigh.
