SF Giants’ power surge continues against Rockies to collect first sweep since July

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:05 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Gabe Kapler said he began to see signs of life from the Giants’ comatose offense even before their get-right weekend set against the Rockies.Sure, Colorado, with the worst pitching staff in the majors by ERA and the third-worst record, presented a golden opportunity to score some runs and bank some wins. But the biggest reason for optimism, Kapler said, was that his lineup was nearly back to full strength.Back from a two-and-a-half-month stint on the injured list, Mitch Haniger provided some solid evidence over the weekend.Haniger launched his second homer of the series, one of three the Giants got as their sudden power surge continued Sunday in a 6-3 win to complete a sweep of the National League West’s last-place team. Beating up on the Rockies at this point is routine, their 16th win in their past 17 tries, but a sweep? It was the Giants’ first in a series of at least three games since their first one out of the All-Star break, July 14-17 at Pitt...

Outplayed and undisciplined Seahawks seek quick answers after their 30-13 opening loss to Rams

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:05 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Geno Smith saw no reason to try to downplay the performance the Seattle Seahawks had just put forth.Seattle’s season began with an unexpected flop that left fans booing, players losing control of their emotions and the Seahawks feeling flat outplayed by their division foe.“I didn’t expect to come out and lose at all, let alone in this fashion,” Smith said. “But hats off to the Rams. They wanted it more. They played harder.”Seattle’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday was an immediate wake-up call that last year’s unexpected success and the feel-good story surrounding that team is long in the past.Seattle started this season believing it had made the necessary moves to be more of a contender in the NFC West and perhaps close in on San Francisco at the top of the division.Instead, the Seahawks were thoroughly outplayed by a Rams roster that has undergone major surgery that gutted most of the core from the team that two seasons ago won the Super Bowl, leaving o...

FOXBORO — In each of the first six questions Mac Jones answered in his news conference Sunday night after the Patriots’ Week 1 25-20 loss to the Eagles, the quarterback went out of his way to blame himself for the result.Jones said he “didn’t throw any good passes on the first drive” and that the Patriots “couldn’t score early, and we just fell behind because of me, and I put it on myself.” He noted that the Patriots’ defense “gave me the ball twice to win the game, and I couldn’t do it.”The Patriots got down to the Eagles’ 17-yard line while trailing 22-14 with 9:32 left in the game, went for it on fourth-and-3 and couldn’t convert. The Eagles responded with a field goal, putting the Patriots down 25-14. Jones led the Patriots on a scoring drive but couldn’t make a two-point conversion, cutting the Eagles’ lead to 25-20. Jones’ defense gave him two more opportunities to score late in the fourth quarter, but the offense turned the ball over on downs twice.Related ArticlesNew E...
