Facing the Washington Nationals, Langeliers made all kinds of MLB history with a 5-for-6, three-homer performance in a 16-7 blowout win. It might have not even been close to the best performance by an A's hitter in the past two weeks, but it was still enough to put him in rare company.

Shea Langeliers became just the second catcher in MLB history to hit three home runs out of the leadoff spot while leading the Athletics to a 16-7 road win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.

Shea Langeliers homered three times and finished with five hits in his first game batting in the leadoff spot, and the Athletics pounded the slumping Washington Nationals 16-7.
