Apr 11, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; Athletics left fielder Tyler Soderstrom (21) circles third base after hitting a two-run home run in the third inning against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images The Athletics went viral with a new home run celebration Saturday as they locked up a winning road trip to New York.
The mood is decidedly more downbeat for the New York Mets.
The visiting Athletics will look to complete a three-game sweep of the reeling Mets Sunday afternoon when the teams close out an interleague series.
Aaron Civale (1-0, 2.70 ERA) is slated to start for the Athletics against Freddy Peralta (1-0, 4.80) in a battle of right-handers.
Tyler Soderstrom hit two homers Saturday for the Athletics, who held off a late Mets rally to record an 11-6 victory.
The win was the fourth consecutive for the Athletics, who have trailed at the end of an inning just once in their last 33 frames dating back to Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the New York Yankees.
Bo Bichette’s RBI single in the first inning put the Mets ahead Saturday, but the Athletics went ahead for good in the second, when Denzel Clarke drew a bases-loaded walk and Lawrence Butler hit into a run-scoring fielder’s choice.
The real fun for the Athletics began in the third, when Soderstrom hit a two-run homer — the club’s first round-tripper since April 5.
Upon reaching the dugout, Butler presented Soderstrom with a gold elephant chain. Pitcher Luis Severino, who was on the Mets when they turned Grimace and Jose Iglesias’ song “OMG” into rallying cries during their run to the National League Championship Series in 2024, then placed a leather elephant mask atop Soderstrom’s head.
The Athletics repeated the ritual twice more Saturday, when Carlos Cortes hit a three-run shot in the second and when Soderstrom went deep again for a three-run homer in the eighth.
The necklace and mask will surely be in the visiting dugout Sunday when the Athletics attempt to conclude their most successful road trip in more than four years.
The Athletics haven’t lost one game or fewer on a road trip of six games or longer since Sept. 14-19, 2021, when the then-Oakland Athletics went 5-1 against the Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Angels.
“We’re playing really good baseball against really good teams,” Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said. “We’ve got a chance to obviously sweep a series in New York, which says a lot about the team and the confidence that they have.”
The Mets appeared to be bursting with confidence during a four-game winning streak from April 3-7 that was constructed almost entirely without slugging outfielder Juan Soto, who suffered a strained right calf in the first inning of a 10-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on April 3. Soto is expected to miss up to three weeks.
But the Mets have scored just nine runs in four consecutive losses to the Arizona Diamondbacks — who won the final two games of a three-game series — and the Athletics.
New York had only four extra-base hits in the first four games of the homestand before Saturday, when Bichette, Francisco Alvarez and Jorge Polanco all homered.
Shortstop Francisco Lindor, the Mets’ longest-tenured position player, has yet to record an RBI this season but committed two mental mistakes against the Athletics. Lindor was caught off third base on teammate Jared Young’s grounder to first in the sixth inning of Friday’s 4-0 loss before he failed to cover second on Butler’s potential double-play grounder to second in the second inning Saturday.
“We’re better than that and we’ve got to fix it,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. “And we will.”
Neither Peralta nor Civale factored into the decision in their previous starts last Tuesday. Peralta allowed three runs over 4 2/3 innings in the Mets’ 4-3, 10-inning win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, while Civale gave up one run over five innings as the Athletics fell to the New York Yankees 5-3.
Peralta is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in three career games (two starts) against the Athletics. Civale is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA in three games (two starts) against the Mets.

Who is Ayush Shetty?
Ayush, who hails from Karnataka, made headlines in 2023 when he won the bronze medal at the BWF World Junior Championships.
Training at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy (PPBA) in Bengaluru, his reflexes and movement have prompted many to call him the next big thing in Indian badminton.
Last year, he won his first major title, the US Open title, beating Brian Yang 21-18, 21-13 in the final, becoming the first Indian to win a BWF World Tour title in 2025.
“Ayush’s initial target was to be a top-25 player by the end of the year. With this kind of performance, this is definitely within his reach. In the long term, Ayush is a world top-10 player for sure. He has a very bright future,” Sagar Chopda, PPBA head coach, had earlier told Sportstar.

Apr 11, 2026; San Jose, California, USA; United States midfielder Rose Lavelle (16) reacts after scoring a goal against Japan during the first half at PayPal Park. Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images Rose Lavelle celebrated her 100th start with a goal and an assist to help the U.S. women’s national team to a 2-1 win in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday to open a three-match series against Japan.
Lavelle, in her 119th match, scored in the 9th minute off a set piece then set up Lindsey Heaps in the 48th for the 2-0 lead.
Riko Ueki stunned the Americans in the 61st minute to cut the deficit in half on their first goal allowed in nine matches.
The friendlies continue Tuesday in Seattle and Friday in Commerce City, Colo.
The Americans got the early advantage after Sophia Wilson drew a foul. She played her first USWNT match since Oct. 27, 2024, and made her first start since the gold medal match in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Wilson gave birth to a daughter in September 2025.
On the ensuing restart, Trinity Rodman was to the left of the goal when she sent a flighted ball to the middle of the box. Lavelle used her left foot to flick it past goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita for her 28th goal with the national team.
The U.S. failed to double the lead 14 minutes later when an unmarked Alyssa Thompson at the left post couldn’t convert a cross from Wilson.
Alyssa and Gisele Thompson broke the USWNT record for sisters starting in the same match with four. Samantha and Kristie Mewis started in the same match three times.
It didn’t take long after the break to gain some breathing room thanks to the high pressure from Gisele Thompson which created a turnover. She sent Lavelle down the left channel but Lavelle’s service to the box was blocked.
Fortunately for the U.S., the ball deflected to Lavelle and she found Heaps on the run for a left-footed shot and her 40th goal.
The USWNT’s scoreless streak ended at 865 minutes as Ueki, who entered at the start of the second half, took a headed pass from Honoka Hayashi to score with a header from the center of the box.
Ueki almost tied it in the 78th minute with an 8-yard shot that forced a reactionary save by Claudia Dickey, who made four saves; Yamashita had one.
