Vogt homers twice in Athletics' split-squad win over Royals

MESA, Ariz. -- Stephen Vogt hit a pair of home runs and drove in four and the Oakland Athletics beat a Kansas City Royals split squad 6-4 on Monday.

Vogt, who underwent elbow surgery about six weeks ago, had been taking batting practice for a week and has been used exclusively as a designated hitter.

Mike Moustakas hit a two-run shot for the Royals, who were limited to four hits by Jesse Hahn, Ryan Madson and five other relievers.

Josh Reddick added two hits and a RBI and Jed Lowrie added a pair of hits for the A's.
