Josh Reddick and Stephen Vogt have a little competition going. They want to do battle for the A’s home run and RBI leadership this season.
It’s Vogt in the lead at this point with nine homers, including a two-run shot in the first inning of Tuesday’s 9-2 win over Boston, and 30 RBIs, the best in the American League. The nine homers match his single-season best with more than three quarters of the season to go.
Reddick is holding his own with six homers, including a solo blast leading off the third inning, and his three RBIs has him at 25 for the season.
