OAKLAND — Ryon Healy is over the whole “designated hitter” storyline.
He enjoys talking about it like someone would enjoy settling into a dentist’s chair for a root canal. Whether he realizes it or not, however, Healy is finding the best way to put the whole topic to rest.
If he keeps hitting the way he did Monday night — while serving as the A’s DH against Toronto — there will be no need to ask about adjustments, difficulties or challenges of not playing a defensive position.
For the second time in three days, Healy blasted two homers in a game.
