Nick Kurtz launched a 493-foot grand slam—the longest this MLB season by a player not named Mike Trout—as Oakland overwhelmed Cincinnati 11-5. Rooker and Cortes also went deep, with Jacob Wilson adding RBI doubles to fuel the late rally. Hunter Greene faltered, boosting his ERA, while Reds slip further in the wild-card chase. The A’s offense flashed power (Kurtz’s blast) and structure (Langeliers’ run-scoring hit, Wilson’s doubles) in a pivotal win.
