OAKLAND — Ryon Healy received the postgame shower and proudly wore a crown on his head in the form of an upside down Dubble Bubble bucket.
It was well deserved, after his towering two-run homer off Francisco Rodriguez in the ninth Sunday gave the A’s an 8-6 victory over Detroit. But what stood out most about Oakland’s second walk-off win in a row was how many people it took to bring it to fruition.
The A’s didn’t play a perfect game on a sun-drenched afternoon at the Coliseum, but they had an ensemble of contributors come through and override their missteps.
