ST. LOUIS -- Zack Greinke made himself right at home. Just like the rest of the Los Angeles Dodgers have been doing for almost a month. Greinke pitched into the seventh inning and raised his average to .405 with an RBI single, helping the Dodgers win their 15th straight on the road with a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. This is the sixth city during the streak. "I think we kind of thrive on an us-against-the-stadium mentality," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "It really brings out the best in ourselves." Nick Punto was productive subbing for injured shortstop Hanley Ramirez, and the Dodgers got an RBI apiece from Andre Ethier and A.J. Ellis while matching Cincinnatis 15-game run in 1957. Theyre two wins shy of the NL record set by the 1916 New York Giants. "Theyre playing great ball obviously," losing pitcher Adam Wainwright said. "I knew that going in. I wanted to end that streak." The Detroit Tigers own the major league record with 21 consecutive road wins from 1983-84. Seventeen of them came during their World Series championship season in 84, tying the 1916 Giants for the single-season mark, according to STATS. Greinke (9-3) allowed two runs in 6 1-3 innings for his 100th career victory, allowing two hits in the third, fourth and fifth but no runs. Paco Rodriguez earned his second career save with a perfect ninth. Wainwright (13-7) gave up three runs in seven innings and failed in his third straight attempt at winning his 14th, working seven innings in all three of those starts. He remained tied for the league lead in wins with teammate Lance Lynn and regretted a fat pitch on Puntos double a lot more than Greinkes hit off a nasty curveball. Carlos Beltran and Allen Craig had an RBI apiece for the Cardinals, stifled in the opener of a 10-game homestand after totalling 44 runs the previous four games. Theyve lost nine of 12 overall. "We score 15 runs and he throws three runs up there in seven innings, its a good outing," manager Mike Matheny said of Greinke. "It was just one of those days we couldnt get much going." Matheny wasnt happy about Beltrans first sacrifice bunt of the season after the first two batters reached in the seventh. "Sometimes we put them on, sometimes we do it on our own," Matheny said. Punto doubled with two outs in the seventh ahead of Greinkes single that gave the Dodgers a 3-1 lead. His relay to the plate preserved a one-run lead in the fifth and denied David Freese of an RBI double, and he made nice defensive plays to end the seventh and eighth. Hes 6 for 13 (.462) against the Cardinals. Matt Carpenter doubled off the right-field wall in the first inning and took third when Yasiel Puig fumbled the ball, then sprinted home on Beltrans groundout when Punto sailed a throw over catcher A.J. Ellis head. Running shoe-top catches by Puig in right field and Ethier in centre helped Greinke strand three Cardinals in a scoreless third. St. Louis came up empty again in the fourth after opening with singles by Jon Jay and Tony Cruz, and Puntos relay in the fifth caught Allen Craig at the plate on Freeses double to right. "It was just a perfect relay and (Ellis) did a good job tagging," Greinke said. "I thought it was a good decision to send him and everything had to be right, and it was." The first three Dodgers reached in the fourth, with Adrian Gonzalez stopping at third on Puigs double off the right-field wall and then scoring on Ethiers broken-bat single. Puig scored the go-ahead run when Ellis beat the relay on a potential double-play ball. Wainwright had retired eight in a row before Punto doubled to the opposite-field in left with two outs in the seventh and Greinke lofted a single that made it 3-1. NOTES: Major league ERA leader Clayton Kershaw (10-6, 1.87) faces Cardinals fifth starter Joe Kelly (2-3, 3.10) on Tuesday. Kershaw was the NL pitcher of the month in July going 4-1 with a 1.34 ERA, while Kelly has thrown 14 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings for the Cardinals in a bid to become more than just an occasional fifth starter. ... The Dodgers are 8-1 in Greinkes last nine starts and Greinke is 3-1 with a 2.38 ERA in four career starts in St. Louis.Slick Watts Jersey .

Davis said. Why not us?And with that, Davis next rebuilding project began.Davis five-year contract -- one thats worth about $1 million annually -- was finalized Tuesday, his first day on the job as FIUs newest football coach. He hasnt seen the team play yet and is leaning against going to either of the Panthers final two games this season, choosing for now to spend the majority of his time getting a staff together and preparing to start culling South Floridas super-fertile recruiting ground once again.I love this opportunity, said Davis, who has been an ESPN analyst for the past three years and sought the Miami job -- his old job -- that went to Mark Richt last December. I am grateful to be here and to be the head football coach at FIU. And I look at this challenge as one that has no limits for the ceiling.Davis was introduced to the FIU community at the schools stadium, one that hasnt had much to cheer about in the past few years.This will be the fifth consecutive season that the Panthers miss a bowl game, and now Davis will be the one charged with making sure that streak doesnt last much longer.This is a day today thats a game-changer, said Pete Garcia, FIUs executive director of sports and entertainment -- and someone who worked side by side with Davis at Miami and with the Cleveland Browns. Not just for FIU football, but for FIU athletics.Davis went 51-20 at Miami from 1995 to 2000, taking over a program decimated by sanctions and scholarship losses and turning it into one that would dominate its way to the 2001 national title.dddddddddddd Davis was with the Browns when that title was won, taking them to the playoffs in 2002 -- the last appearance in the postseason for that franchise.He coached North Carolina from 2007 through 2010, then got fired in 2011 as part of the fallout of an NCAA investigation. Davis was never implicated in that scandal.Getting let go by the Tar Heels left a bad taste in Davis mouth, though he said he had a bigger reason for wanting to resume his career on the sideline.The motivation to take this job had to do with kids, Davis said. I love kids. I love coaching. I love the competition. I love the recruiting aspect. I love being in the locker room and the weight room. ... Thats why you coach. If you dont coach for the kids, you shouldnt coach at all.Not long before Davis first FIU event, Richt said he wished the newest coach in town well. Miami and FIU are scheduled to resume their series in 2018 and 2019.I think Butch is a great coach, period, Richt said. I think hes a great person. I think it already is a home run for FIU. I know hes going to be excited about the challenge and the opportunity there. Well have to get ready when the time comes. I dont know him well, but Ive known him for a while, and I have a lot of respect for him as a coach and a person.FIU president Dr. Mark Rosenberg said he thinks Tuesdays move will be one that resonates at the school for a long time.Butch Davis has fire in the belly for excellence, Rosenberg said. He has fire in the belly for student-athletes. And he has fire in the belly for American college football. ' ' '
