Vogt doesn't play, but relishes ASG experience
Stephen Vogt joins Intentional Talk prior to the All-Star Game to discuss the pregame and the first half of the A's seasonSAN DIEGO -- Stephen Vogt was simply a spectator in his second All-Star Game, but the A's catcher naturally took to the role with a smile.
American League manager Ned Yost used only two catchers in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the National League at Petco Park, keeping Vogt on hand for a potential extra-inning pairing with Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright.
No such scene unfolded in the All-Star Game presented by MasterCard. Baltimore closer Zach Britton, teamed with teammate Matt Wieters as his batterymate, pitched a scoreless ninth inning for the save.
