ST. LOUIS -- Khris Davis saw he had a chance to score, so he took off.Davis hustled home on an infield grounder in the eighth inning and the Oakland Athletics rallied for two runs, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Saturday night.Oakland trailed 2-1 in the eighth when Davis singled with one out against Matt Bowman (2-5) and Ryon Healy doubled, extending the longest active hitting streak in the majors to 13 games.Seung Hwan Oh relieved and Max Muncy hit a grounder that Brandon Moss stopped with a dive, but Davis easily beat the throw to score the tying run.The play was to see the ball through the middle, stay on the corners, Davis said. He dove, so as soon as he dove I thought it would be a good time to go.Brett Eibner followed with a sacrifice fly.St. Louis starter Mike Leake was scratched because he was still recovering from having shingles. The Cardinals fell to 1-8 in interleague games at Busch Stadium this season.Zach Neal pitched a career-best six innings. Oakland pitchers held the Cardinals without a hit after the fourth inning, retiring the last 17 batters.I caught a second wind after that third inning, said Neal. My mechanics started flowing a little bit. The ball was coming out better than it was early on.Daniel Coulombe (2-1) and Liam Hendriks combined for two perfect innings to set up Ryan Madson, who pitched a perfect ninth for his 26th save.They were great, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said about his bullpen. Daniels now all of a sudden in a role he hasnt been in before and has to go back out and get the first out of the eighth. Hendriks came in. He was probably more rested then weve had in a while and then to get a clean ninth against that team with no base runners.Cardinals rookie Alex Reyes made his first major league start, giving up one run on two hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings.I feel like my command could have been better, Reyes said. Four walks, I wasnt able to get deep in the game, but I tried to execute pitches as best as I can. Things didnt work my way, but hopefully next time they will.Zach Duke relieved and hit pinch-hitter Danny Valencia to load the bases, then walked Davis to force home a run. Reyes had started his big league career with five relief appearances, pitching 9 1/3 scoreless innings.Randal Grichuk hit his 18th homer, a 431-foot drive in the second. The Cardinals have homered in 16 straight games, one shy of their season best.ENSHRINEMENTPrior to the game, the Cardinals inducted former players Joe Torre, Chris Carpenter and Terry Moore, as well as former club president Sam Breadon, into the teams Hall of Fame.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: C Josh Phegley was hospitalized Friday night with synovitis in his right knee.

Anthony Joshua is inspiring Great Britains Olympic boxing team to believe they can strike gold in Rio this month.Four years ago, Joshua won Olympic super-heavyweight gold and since then has turned professional and won a version of the world heavyweight title.Joshua, 26, still trains at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield where Britains Olympic boxing team have been based.He made his first defence of his IBF title with a seventh round win over American Dominic Breazeale last June, having originally won the belt in April. And despite his success at the highest level, he remains friends with the GBs team of 12 boxers.It is the first time in recent Olympic history that Great Britain has qualified a man in all 10 weight classes, and Team GB will be taking its biggest boxing team since the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.Joshuas a huge inspiration for our boxers, and it shows what can be done, performance director Rob McCracken said. [Lawrence] Okolie in particular, looked to big Josh.He won gold at London 2012 as a novice and Lawrence has only had a few more than 20 fights and only been with us six months or so.Lawrence believes he can do it and that confidence is a big boost when you travel to go away to tournaments, like the qualifiers or the Ollympics.ddddddddddddOkolie, 23, only took up boxing to deal with some personal problems and is in the second year of a psychosocial studies degree at the University of East London.When I saw Anthony Joshua win Olympic gold I thought this is possible, he said. I was constantly picked on, called fat, sometimes it was physical. It made me shy and reserved.I was stuck at home, I wouldnt go out and my only comfort was food. I took up boxing as a way of losing weight and qualified for the Olympics after just 23 bouts.Im still a bit inexperienced but Im going out there not just for the experience, but for the gold medal.McCracken trained Nottinghams Carl Froch, who was a three-time world super-middleweight champion, and says Joshua has what it takes to rule for years.It has probably surprised most people how quickly he has won the world title but I knew the quality, the mindset, the determination, the focus, the power, the athleticism he had and if you put that all together its a winning formula, McCracken added.It will take someone to stop him and he does the job quickly. Hes everything you want in a professional fighter. ' ' '
