ST. L0UIS -- Ryon Healy showed a little moxie in spring training. Now its showing up in his play on the field.From the moment he got here, theres a tenacity about him, Athletics manager Bob Melvin said after Oaklands 3-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Now hes very respectful of his teammates and the game, but hes pretty tenacious. Since he got here hes been pretty hungry, wants to prove himself and wants to stay.Healy singled in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, the longest active stretch in the majors.Its been nice that theyve been giving me the at-bats that Ive had so far and giving me the chance to struggle, Healy said. Its been a nice 120-bat learning curve and with the work and preparation Ive put in, hopefully Ill get better.Healy is hitting .281 with six homers and 17 RBI. During the hitting streak, the 24-year-old infielder is hitting .400.The streak ties Coco Crisp for the longest by an As player this season.Hes got a good approach right now, Melvin said. The more hes here, the more confident he is. Hes playing every day. Hes seeing every type of pitcher and hes making the adjustments.Yonder Alonsos solo homer in the second inning was the As only run as they fell to 11-2 in their last 13 road games.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, Melvin said. I think his breaking balls were a little better and he was getting ahead more so.It was a better effort than Detwilers last two starts, where he gave up 11 runs in 8 2/3 innings.Results werent there, but I felt it was better than Ive done in the past few, Detwiler said. Got to keep going out there and the results will turn.Jedd 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. , Other than that we didnt really do a whole lot against him. He had three pitches he was executing all three and he threw a good game.Luke Weaver (1-1) earned his first major league victory, giving 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.Weaver lowered his ERA from 5.00 to 3.60.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.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.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. Brayden Point Jersey .

Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front.Amnesty International have warned that Brazils Olympic legacy is under threat because of the level of violence in the country. The human rights organisation claims security policies in place for this summers Games in Rio de Janeiro are ill-conceived and they have tabbed the city as one of the deadliest on Earth.A report into the organisation of this summers sporting spectacular showed a sharp increase in murders and human rights violations since Brazil hosted the 2014 Football World Cup, which saw a series of protests. Amnesty Internationals report says more than 100 people have been killed in Rio in 2016, and they have issued warnings that conditions in the citys favelas remain extremely dangerous.When Rio was awarded the 2016 Olympic Games in 2009, the authorities promised to improve security for all. Instead, we have seen 2,500 people killed by police since then in the city and very little justice, said Amnesty International Brazil Director Atila Roque.Brazil seems to have learned very little from the great mistakes it made over the years when it comes to public security. The policy of shoot first, ask questions later has placed Rio de Janeiro as one of the deaddliest cities on earth.dddddddddddd.The countrys historic ill-conceived public security policies, coupled with the increasing human rights violations we have documented during major sports events and the lack of effective investigations, are a recipe for disaster.Brazilian authorities are not only failing to deliver the promised Olympic legacy of a safe country for all, but are also failing to ensure that law enforcement officials meet international law and standards on the use of force and firearms.Two months ahead of the Olympics, there is still time to put in place measures to mitigate the risk of human rights violations and establish accountability mechanisms for those found responsible for violating human rights.As the global sports community gathers in Rio in two months, the question remains: will the authorities respect and protect human rights and deliver the promised legacy of a safe city and country for all?
