ST. LOUIS -- Luke Weaver didnt have any big plans to celebrate his first major league win.Jedd Gyorko homered and Weaver pitched six strong innings as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Oakland Athletics 3-1 on Friday night.Its a little late, the 23-year-old Weaver said. Maybe just bed.Gyorkos 423-foot shot in the first extended the Cardinals home run streak to 15 games, the longest active streak in the majors, and made it 2-0 after just two batters.I got a pitch that I was kind of looking for, a change-up, and put a good swing on that, Gyorko said.Weaver (1-1) gave up one run and four hits in a career-high six innings in his home debut for the Cardinals. Five of his seven strikeouts were looking.Luke was great tonight, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Nice to see him get out of the first without all kinds of traffic and having to be under stress right from the beginning. He had a good clean first and I thought hes just continuing to get better with every start.Weaver lowered his ERA from 5.00 to 3.60.I think I made a couple of mechanical things that made me stay through the pitches better, Weaver said. But just believing that I can be aggressive in the zone and trusting the stuff and I think it paid off tonight.Cardinals center fielder Randal Grichuk made a diving catch on a sinking drive by Stephen Vogt to end the fifth, and Jhonny Peralta made a sprawling stop at third base and threw out Khris Davis to start the sixth.That was a great catch by Grich out there, Weaver said. It minimized some stress on me and saved the game run-wise.Yonder Alonsos solo homer in the second inning was the As only run.Seung Hwan Oh got the last three outs for his 13th save helping the Cardinals get their first interleague win at home in eight tries this season.Ross Detwiler (1-3) gave up three runs and six hits while striking out six in 5 1/3 innings.I think he mixed the pitches a little better, As manager Bob Melvin said. I think his breaking balls were a little better and he was getting ahead more so.The Cardinals capped the scoring in the sixth thanks to alert base running. Brandon Moss read a soft fly perfectly off the bat of Yadier Molina and advanced from first to third as the ball fell beyond the reach of As second baseman Max Muncy in short center field. Molina then intentionally got into a run-down on a shallow fly ball by Peralta, allowing Moss to score.A couple base running plays from guys that arent necessarily known as base stealers, Matheny said. Moss taking the blooper and reading off the bat to challenge to get to third, but Yadi very heads up trying to get that run across realizing that it was worth the out to make sure we get that run.Oaklands Ryon Healy singled in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, the longest active stretch in the majors.HOMECOMINGDetwiler went to Holt Senior High in Wentzville, Missouri, 40 miles west of Busch Stadium. He fell to 0-3 with a 4.67 ERA against his hometown team.Its nice to be at home when were away from the field, but its another game once youre here, Detwiler said. Whatever city it doesnt make much of a difference. Its all who youre playing.ROSTER MOVEThe Cardinals recalled RHP Miguel Socolovich and optioned RHP Sam Tuivailala to Triple-A Memphis.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: INF Billy Butler (concussion) made the road trip and might be cleared to play early next week.Cardinals: RHP Mike Leake (shingles) will not make his scheduled start Saturday, the club announced after the game. He will be replaced by RHP Alex Reyes.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Zach Neal (2-3, 5.49 ERA) will make his first career appearance against St. Louis. He has walked two in 39 1/3 innings and his .046 walks per nine inning average is the lowest in the majors among pitchers with at least 25 innings.Cardinals: Reyes, a highly-touted prospect, (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his first big league start. He has one save and 13 strikeouts in 9 1/3 career innings. Discount Ravens Jersesys . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196.

Ravens Jersesys Outlet . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . Cheap Bradley Bozeman Jersey Fremantle goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne says his rumoured rift with teammate Nat Fyfe was nothing but wrong speculation, while he also denied he asked for a trade away from the Dockers.Rumours surfaced last season that a host of Dockers players were unhappy with Fyfes leadership style, with Ballantyne apparently part of the clan.But Ballantyne flatly denied those claims on Wednesday.Theres a lot of speculation in Perth with footy players, and thats exactly what it was. There were no issues to resolve, Ballantyne said.It also emerged last year that Ballantyne had sought a trade to West Coast after failing to land a multi-year contract extension at the Dockers.But Ballantyne says he never wanted to leave the Dockers, claiming his manager was merely sussing out all available options.I didnt ask for that, no, Ballantyne said of the talk he wanted to head to arch rivals West Coast.(I was) open to look at all the possibilities for my football career.My manager does a great job, and he dealt with all the rubbish outside.For me, it didnt faze me in the slightest.Im happy here. Once all the dust settled, and Im staying as a Fremantle player, I was stoked.Its always been my mission to stay a Fremantle player for my whole career. Im as happy as hell.Ballantyne said he had a refreshing chat with coach Ross Lyon after the trade period.Once the dust settled, we laid everything out, Ballantyne said.ddddddddddddI said, What do you need from me for 2017? And he was stoked with that.He said get your head down, bum up, and into pre-season.Ballantyne was an All-Australian in 2014, but he has struggled to recapture his best form since.The 29-year-old booted just 26 goals from 20 games last season, and just 15 goals the year before.It was a far cry from his 2014 campaign that yielded 49 goals.Ballantyne says Dockers players have been given the green light to play more instinctively in 2017.The club is hopeful the new style of play will help the team rebound from their horror 2016 campaign that yielded just four wins.Ballantyne suffered a fractured cheekbone last season, and he also broke his jaw in 2014.But the pocket rocket says hes not about to change his frenetic attack on the man and the ball any time soon.If I think about trying to protect myself in a game, opportunities are missed to lay a tackle or things like that, Ballantyne said.Theres a fair bit of metal in there now, so hopefully that helps.Luckily enough there hasnt been concussions or damage to my brain. Its just been bone damage, which heals quick enough. I wont be changing too much.
