ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Rookie Andrew Triggs earned his first win and Stephen Vogt and

Khris Davis homered to lead the Oakland Athletics to a 7-4 win over the St.

Louis Cardinals on Sunday.



Triggs (1-1) allowed three runs on four hits, walked none and struck out eight

in six innings.



Jaime Garcia (10-10) gave up a three-run homer to Vogt with two out in the

third and a two-run shot to Davis, his 34th, with two out in the first. Garcia

has allowed seven homers in his past three starts after giving up six in his

first 13 starts.



Matt Carpenter doubled twice, homered and scored the Cardinals’ first three

runs. His homer in the third extended the Cardinals’ streak to 17 games with a

homer, matching their season best.



The Cardinals are in Milwaukee Monday night to begin a three-game series. Carlos

Martinez (12-7) starts for St. Louis while the Brewers send Zach Davies (10-6) to

the hill. Game time is 6:20 with the pre-game at 5:25 on KTLO-AM.
