A quintet of pitchers combined on a six-hit shutout Friday night for the visiting Athletics, who continued their surge with a 4-0 win over the slumping New York Mets.

Shea Langeliers laced a third-inning run-scoring single before Jeff McNeil (single) and Denzel Clarke (two-run single) added RBI hits in the ninth for the Athletics, who have posted two straight shutouts and won four of their past five following a 2-6 start.

Jacob Wilson went 3-for-4 while McNeil, who played for the Mets from 2018-25, added two hits.

Six players had one hit apiece for the Mets, who have dropped their last three games by a combined 18-3 immediately after outscoring the opposition 28-8 during a four-game winning streak.

Clay Holmes (2-1) gave up one run on five hits and three walks while striking out three before leaving with one out in the sixth inning due to a left hamstring injury.

J.T. Ginn, making his first start this year, allowed one hit — a bunt single by Jared Young — and one walk while striking out four over four scoreless innings.

Mark Leiter Jr. tossed a one-hit fifth and Jack Perkins (1-0) was credited with the win after giving up three hits over 2 1/3 innings. Scott Barlow and Elvis Alvarado combined to get the final five outs.

The Athletics carved out a run in the third, when Carlos Cortes led off with a single, moved to second on Lawrence Butler’s one-out walk, took third when Butler was forced on Nick Kurtz’s grounder before trotting home on Langeliers’ single.

The Mets had their best threat in the sixth, when Francisco Lindor and Bo Bichette led off with singles. But Lindor, who went to third on Bichette’s hit, was thrown out trying to get back to the bag on Jared Young’s grounder to first. Luis Robert Jr. followed by bouncing into a 6-4-3 double play.

Wilson singled leading off the ninth, went to second on Carson Benge’s error and scored on McNeil’s hit. Pinch-runner Zack Gelof moved to third on Max Muncy’s double and both players scored on Clarke’s single.
