Stephen Vogt homered in his final game before retirement and scored the first run on a sacrifice fly after Shohei Ohtani pitched no-hit ball into the fifth, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Wednesday.

He became the first player to qualify as a batter and a pitcher since rules for qualification were adopted in 1950.

Vogt galloped around the bases in glee when his seventh home run of the season and No. 82 of his career sailed into the right-field seats. His first career hit was a home run and came in his 33rd at-bat and he cleared the fences again in his final plate appearance at age 37.

Ohtani struck out six and didn’t allow a baserunner until Vogt’s six-pitch walk with one out in the fifth.

Chad Pinder followed with a double and was lifted for a pinch-runner so Pinder could walk off to warm ovation in his likely final game with A’s before testing free agency. Conner Capel hit a sacrifice fly.

Playing his last Major League game on Wednesday in the A’s 3-2 victory over the Angels, Vogt got one last chance to live out his childhood dream. 

Leading off the bottom of the seventh inning knowing his third plate appearance of the game would also be the last of his career, Vogt — who announced on Sept. 22 that he would be retiring at season’s end — took a slow stroll to the plate and soaked in the ovation from the Coliseum crowd.

Digging into the box, he shared some words with Angels rookie catcher Logan O’Hoppe before locking in to face right-hander Zack Weiss.

On the first pitch he saw, Vogt pounced on a 94.2 mph fastball, drilling it into the Budweiser section in right field for a home run.

“I just got every emotion out,” Vogt said of his feelings while rounding the bases during the magical moment. “I was just like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ So happy and so elated. The little kid in you that used to play out in the front yard and pretend to be Will Clark, I let that that come out. I enjoyed every second of it. It was a thrilling, thrilling moment.”

Sharing a hug at home plate with on-deck batter Ernie Clement, Vogt received high-fives all around from each one of his teammates and coaches who jumped out of the A’s dugout to celebrate the homer.
