Wichtig » ut while hitting a batter and allowing one hit. Manager John

ATLANTA -- For Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers, about the only thing left to play for is avoiding the worst season in the franchises proud history.It was another Sunday to forget for the five-time Super Bowl champions, who were blown out by the Atlanta Falcons 41-13 to extend a team record with their 13th straight loss.The 49ers (1-13) gave up touchdowns on four of Atlantas first five possessions, the home teams only slipup coming when Devonta Freeman fumbled inside the 1 just before powering into the end zone.San Francisco managed a couple of impressive drives before halftime, both ending with touchdown passes from Kaepernick, but still trailed 28-13. The 49ers were totally stifled after the break, managing just four first downs and 85 yards.Its a difficult situation, Kaepernick said, in what definitely qualified as an understatement.The 49ers must win their final two games to keep from joining a trio of San Francisco teams that finished 2-14, most recently in 2004.They travel to Los Angeles to face the Rams next Saturday -- the only team they beat, 28-0 in Week 1 -- before closing the season at home against the NFC West champion Seattle Seahawks.If San Francisco loses both of those -- certainly a distinct possibility -- this team will be all alone as the worst to wear the scarlet and gold.Weve just got to rebuild, linebacker Ahmad Brooks said. I guess were in the rebuilding stage right now.In an interesting twist, the 49ers were blown out at the Georgia Dome, where they won the NFC championship and advanced to the Super Bowl just four seasons ago.When I first walked into the locker room, my locker and (offensive tackle Joe) Staleys locker were the same lockers we had during that championship game, Kaepernick said. So there was a little bit of a nostalgic moment.Then, back to reality.We have to create a culture of winning, Kaepernick said. Right now, our culture isnt that.The losing streak has certainly turned up the heat on Chip Kelly, who could be the second straight one-and-done coach for the 49ers.Jim Tomsula was dumped after going 5-11 in his lone season.Kellys debut has turned out even worse.Weve got two more games left, Brooks said. Well see what happens at the end of the season.The latest defeat followed a familiar script.San Franciscos defense, which ranked last in the NFL in points, total yards and rushing yards allowed, was burned over and over again by Atlantas high-powered offense, which has scored more points than any team in the league.Freeman ran for 139 yards and three touchdowns, including a 34-yarder . Matt Ryan completed 17 of 23 passes for 286 yards and two TDs. Aldrick Robinson, filling in for injured Atlanta star Julio Jones, hauled in four passes for a career-best 111 yards.The Falcons finished with 550 yards and 29 first downs.We knew what they were going to bring, Brooks said. Matt Ryan and his receivers are very good.The 49ers?They are very, very bad.Its tough, safety Antoine Bethea said.

We got the W. Who cares about the rest?After giving up a pair of runs in the first, including a leadoff homer to Mookie Betts, Santiago mostly managed to frustrate the Red Sox, who left 11 men on base.Its almost like he was effectively wild, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. He was erratic enough in the strike zone to prevent us from squaring anything up.Santiago (10-4) has now won six consecutive starts, posting a 1.78 ERA, all in the month of July. Hes the first left-hander to go 6-0 in a calendar month since Andy Pettitte managed it for the Yankees in August of 2007.He was supported Saturday by the continued hot bat of veteran Albert Pujols.After Santiago allowed the two runs in the first, the Angels got one back in the bottom of the inning against Drew Pomeranz (8-9) before Pujols put the Angels on top with a line-drive, two-run homer in the third.Pujols has 20 RBI in his last 13 games, 30 for the month of July and 80 on the season. It was his 20th home run of the year. This after he started the season batting .185 in his first 33 games.Year after year, Albert is one of the most productive hitters to ever play the game, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. We were never worried about Albert.It was the third start for Pomeranz with the Red Sox since acquired from the Padres on July 14. He is 0-2 with a 7.53 in his three starts with Boston.Overall he just wasnt as strong as the last time out, Farrell said. Its been a mixed bag. Theres quality stuff being thrown, its just a matter of consistency.Pomeranz went 5 1/3 innings and was charged with all five runs. He gave up six hits, walked two and struck out four.He was not helped by the Red Sox offense, which stranded those 11 runners and could never come up with the timely hit after the first.Missed opportunities, Farrell said. Thats the story of this game.The Angels backed up the erratic performance by Santiago with four scoreless innings of relief by four different relievers. Houston Street goot the final three outs for his ninth save.ddddddddddddThe Angels are 47-57, their season appearing lost. But they have won 10 of their last 15 and 18 of their last 25. And since 2012, they are 22-10 at home against the Red Sox.ALL LEFT OUTThe Angels parted ways with their opening-day platoon in left field, designating Daniel Nava and Craig Gentry for assignment. Not wanting to pay the luxury tax, the Angels signed the two in the offseason for a combined $2.4 million. Nava hit .229 with one home run. Gentry hit .147 in 34 at-bats before injuring his back and being assigned to the minors. The Angels activated outfielder Shane Robinson (right ankle sprain) from the disabled list.MOVING UPThe home run by Pujols left him with 1,190 career extra-base hits, tying Lou Gehrig for ninth on baseballs all-time list. With the home run, he joined Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays as the only plays with 20-plus home runs in 15 of their first 16 seasons.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Craig Kimbrel threw 17 pitches in his first rehab appearance. Kimbrel (surgery for torn left knee cartilage) started the game for triple-A Pawtucket, recording one out while hitting a batter and allowing one hit. Manager John Farrell it was uncertain what Kimbrells next step would be, but said he could join the team when it opens a four-game series in Seattle Tuesday.Angels: C.J. Cron may be on the verge of a remarkable recovery from his fractured left hand. Cron injured the hand on July 9 and it was originally expected he would be out six-to-eight weeks. But manager Mike Scioscia said Cron could return within two weeks. He is scheduled to be examined Tuesday and could be cleared to start swinging a bat.UP NEXTRed Sox: RHP Steven Wright (12-5) will try to bounce back from his worst start of the season when he gave up eight earned runs in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday against Detroit. In his last six starts, he has a 6.89 ERA but has gone 4-1.Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs will try to duplicate his first start of the season. Skaggs, returning from Tommy John surgery, threw seven scoreless innings Tuesday, holding the Royals to only three hits in his first start since July 31, 2014. ' ' '
