OAKLAND –The A’s have a secret ingredient to their streak of three consecutive walkoff wins.
Skittles.
Catcher Stephen Vogt is the man in charge of doling out the little candies, but …
“You’ve got to go to them only when the time is right,” he said.
Vogt’s timing was spot-on Saturday and Sunday in ninth inning wins against the Tigers, Oakland coming up with a two-run single the first time around from Adam Rosales, then a three-run homer from Ryon Healy on Sunday.
Monday Vogt was in the game, so Skittles duty was turned over to catcher Bruce Maxwell.
