OAKLAND, Calif. -- Even before the video review, Eduardo Rodriguez realized speedy Marcus Semien was safe at first base.Rodriguezs no-hit bid for the Boston Red Sox was broken up after a replay reversal with two outs in the eighth inning, and Khris Davis hit a game-ending double in the ninth that sent the Oakland Athletics to a 1-0 victory Sunday.Retiring Red Sox slugger David Ortiz offered Rodriguez a hug after he came off the field and these words: You did the best job you could do -- buen trabajo in Spanish, Rodriguez recalled.Trying to complete Bostons first no-hitter in eight years, Rodriguez stuck out his right leg to knock down Semiens grounder in the eighth. The left-hander had to search for the ball in the dirt on the mound before scooping it up and making a quick throw to first.Semien initially was ruled out by umpire Laz Diaz. As manager Bob Melvin challenged the call, which was overturned after a brief review that lasted approximately 19 seconds.Replays clearly showed Semien was safe, just as Rodriguez knew they would. And the infield single ended his run at a no-hitter in frustrating fashion.Youve got to ask everybody whos lost a no-hitter how it feels, said Rodriguez, who came the closest he ever has to throwing a no-no.Rodriguez got the final out of the eighth, keeping the game scoreless. After that, his day was done.He was outstanding and unfortunately he gets a ball off his shoe that he cant seemingly find, and thats the end of a potentially history-making day here, Red Sox manager John Farrell said.In the ninth, Brock Holt misplayed Davis double in deep left field for an error that allowed Danny Valencia to score from first base.Valencia drew a leadoff walk against Craig Kimbrel (2-4), and the As averted a three-game sweep.Oakland snapped a five-game losing streak overall, and a nine-game skid to Boston.Ryan Madson (5-4) pitched the ninth for the win.Oakland has not been held without a hit since four Orioles pitchers turned the trick on July 13, 1991 -- the longest active streak in the majors.Boston right-hander Rick Porcello carried a bid for a perfect game into the sixth inning of an 11-2 victory Saturday. Jake Smolinski broke that one up with a double.Jon Lester tossed the most recent no-hitter for the Red Sox on May 19, 2008, against Kansas City.Ortiz received a standing ovation before his initial at-bat, when he struck out swinging to end the first.He went 0 for 2 with two strikeouts and two walks after going 5 for 6 with five RBI in the first two games of the series.Itd be nice if he took a day off, Melvin joked before the game. Hes performing as well as he ever has.For the upcoming interleague series at San Diego, Big Papi will be available to pinch hit but Farrell has no plans to use him on defense.After Boston outscored Oakland 27-4 over the previous two games, neither team could capitalize Sunday until the very end.The Red Sox had scored at least 11 runs in all five previous meetings this season.Oaklands first win in six tries against the Red Sox meant the As avoided going winless for the fourth time against an AL team in one season. They went 0-11 against Baltimore in 1978, 0-7 versus Cleveland in 1995 and 0-6 when facing the Indians in 1994.As starter Kendall Graveman struck out seven in 6 1/3 sharp innings.You know theyre going to put some good swings on you and today a couple of balls were hit hard right at people, and that helped us, he said.Dustin Pedroia has an 11-game hitting streak and has hit in 20 straight against the As.MONCADAS FIRSTSCuban star Yoan Moncada made his major league debut Friday, got his first hit and RBI with a run-scoring double Saturday, then was picked off and committed an error at third base Sunday.His glove came through when it mattered behind Rodriguez: Moncada snagged Billy Butlers hard liner to start the seventh.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: Rookie OF Andrew Benintendi (left knee sprain) played catch for the first time and has taken some dry swings. ... RHP Clay Buchholz will start Tuesday at San Diego in place of Steven Wright, who will travel with the team with plans for a second opinion on his injured pitching shoulder. ... RHP Koji Uehara, on the disabled list since July 20 with a right pectoral strain, is scheduled to be activated Monday and available as the first option out of the bullpen as soon as Tuesday, Farrell said.Athletics: Rehabbing pitchers Felix Doubront (left elbow) and Chris Bassitt (right elbow) were scheduled to play catch out to 90 feet Monday as they each recover from Tommy John surgery.UP NEXTRed Sox: LHP Drew Pomeranz (2-3, 4.06 ERA) faces his former Padres club on Monday in San Diego. Pomeranz was traded by the Padres on July 14.Athletics: RHP Raul Alcantara will make his major league debut Monday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Under Armour Cheap Shoes . JOHNS, N.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- As the accolades stack up for him in the international game, New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony says he has no trouble tuning out naysayers who want to take issue with his NBA résumé.In an interview with ESPN at the Rio Olympics, Anthony ?insisted that the prospect of becoming the first U.S. male to win three gold medals in basketball more than eases the sting of an NBA playoff history that, to date, includes only one trip to the conference finals and just two trips total beyond the first round.Most athletes dont have an opportunity to say that they won a gold medal, better yet three gold medals, Anthony said. I would be very happy walking away from the game knowing that Ive given the game everything I have, knowing I played on a high level at every level: high school, college, won [a championship at Syracuse] in college and possibly three gold medals.I can look back on it when my career is over -- if I dont have an NBA championship ring -- and say I had a great career.Anthony, 32, became the all-time leading scorer?in U.S. mens Olympic history Wednesday night, totaling 31 points -- including nine 3-pointers -- in Team USAs 98-88 victory over Australia.In his fourth Olympics, Anthony is now up to 293 points, 20 ahead of previous leader LeBron James, who has played in three Olympics.David Robinson (270) and Michael Jordan (256) are third and fourth on the all-time U.S. list, respectively. Brazils Oscar Schmidt holdss the mens Olympic record of 1,093 points.dddddddddddd But unlike Anthony, Schmidt didnt have his minutes restricted while playing on powerhouse teams.He was wanting that moment, Team USA forward Paul George said of Anthonys performance against Australia. He was special tonight. We joke about it, this being his farewell tour, but he was definitely special. Hes he reason we won this.A 13-year NBA veteran who has starred for the Knicks for the past six seasons, Anthony won gold with the United States in 2008 and 2012 after a disappointing bronze medal in 2004.Of course, because we play in the NBA thats always the goal: to win an NBA championship, Anthony said. But every year [theres] a new champion, so you have an opportunity to compete for a championship every year. This is every four years.Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski lauded Anthony after his 14 points in the fourth quarter helped the Americans pull out an unexpectedly close game.Carmelo Anthony is a tremendous player nationally, internationally, in the universe, Krzyzewski told SportsCenter. Hes one of the best players in the world. He also has the most experience by far of anyone on our team playing the international game. Hes been our leader the entire trip.Information from ESPN Staff Writer Ian Begley and the Associated Press was used in this report. ' ' '
