Stephen Vogt homered in his final game before retirement and scored the first run on a sacrifice fly after Shohei Ohtani pitched no-hit ball into the fifth, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Wednesday.
Ohtani finished with a 2.33 ERA and 219 strikeouts in 166 innings, and he hit .273 with 34 homers and 95 RBIs. He became the first player to qualify as a batter and a pitcher since rules for qualification were adopted in 1950.
Ohtani struck out six and didn't allow a baserunner until Vogt's six-pitch walk with one out in the fifth. Chad Pinder followed with a double and was lifted for a pinch-runner so Pinder could walk off to warm ovation in his likely final game with A's before testing free agency. Conner Capel hit a sacrifice fly.
"I Believe in Stephen Vogt!" chants greeted Vogt for his first plate appearance in the second from the crowd of 11,232. The two-time All-Star is beloved by the Bay Area fans as he also played in 2019 for the Giants. The A's won their fourth straight — the previous two in 10 innings and walkoff fashion — to match a season high also done from July 25-29.
