Well, he really does it all: Stephen Vogt, second in the AL All-Star voting at catcher, put on a clinic at first base tonight, making several slick picks, including a particularly tough one on a hard throw in the first by shortstop Marcus Semien on Brett Gardner’s RBI groundout in the sixth.

“Those were teriffic, two big picks,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said.
