Show author in random posts

    Hello everyone!

    In the index.php page of my site I added this code to display random articles.

    <?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3, 'orderby' => 'rand' );
$rand_posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : ?>

    The articles are displayed properly in the titles and contents. The problem is that when I try to enter the author, WP puts all the last author inserted, without finding the author of Random.

    The code that I put is this:

    <?php the_author(); ?>
<h2>" rel="bookmark" title="Read more on <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

    Someone can help me? : (

    Try it with this:

    <?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3, 'orderby' => 'rand' );
$rand_posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
