OAKLAND -- Ryon Healy has quickly overcome a sluggish start at the plate -- no thanks to mechanical adjustments. Turns out all the A's hitter needed was some time.
"The game was going fast for a couple weeks there," Healy said. "I think it happens to everybody over the course of the season. Unfortunately for me, that's how I started my season."
Healy had just six hits in his first 40 at-bats, but he's since collected nine in his last 15, including a two-run homer and a double in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Mariners -- buoyed by a pair of days that began on the bench.
