49ers preseason finale: Brock Purdy powers offense but kicker issues arise

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:25:00 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy looks ready to again transform the 49ers into a high-scoring offense, from what his surgically repaired elbow showed through training camp and Friday night’s preseason finale.How the Niners convert point-after attempts or field goals, however, is suddenly of great concern.The 49ers’ two kickers are injured, some two weeks before the regular season opens in Pittsburgh, a notoriously dodgy place to kick.It wasn’t enough that rookie Jake Moody’s rough initiation into the NFL world continued with a quadriceps injury in practice this week. Veteran Zane Gonzalez could not come to the rescue, as a pregame calf injury kept him out of the 23-12 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.Thus, the 49ers restored to Mitch Wishnowsky, their punter and usual holder. He failed to convert the point-after kick following Purdy’s 5-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and that wasn’t surprising considering he missed 2-of-4 point-after trie...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:25:00 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Atlanta Braves have one of the most explosive offenses in baseball. And Logan Webb had to face them in back-to-back starts.All told, he didn’t throw many bad pitches in his Friday night outing, but the Braves don’t need gifts to make their offense sing. With yet another night without run support, Webb couldn’t hold Atlanta down and the Giants were beat 5-1 to open up this three-game series at Oracle Park.With that, the Giants lose 13 of their last 18 games, inching them closer to a .500 winning percentage with a 66-62 record. San Francisco was 12 games over .500 on Aug. 5, now their playoff chances are dwindling by the night.Webb was hitting his spots, but the Braves’ hitters had a knack for beating him there. In the first inning, Michael Harris III hit a sinker inside at his hands into the right field stands to give Atlanta a 1-0 lead. Harris struck again in the fourth with a single and stolen base on catcher Blake Sabol. He scored ...

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Rowdy Tellez isn’t accustomed to waiting this long between homers.Tellez went deep for the first time since May 22 as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the San Diego Padres 7-3 on Friday for their season high-tying sixth straight victory. Tellez’s three-run shot capped a five-run third inning.His 406-foot drive to center off a 1-1 curve from Yu Darvish (8-10) ended a career-high string of 128 straight at bats without a homer.“It’s just nice to do that and help the team win,” Tellez said. “It helps out personally, too.”Tellez added an RBI single in the seventh inning for his first multi-hit game since June 13.This has been a difficult season for Tellez, who hit a career-high 35 homers last year. He entered Friday with a .679 OPS, down from .902 in early May. Tellez spent six weeks on the injured list – first with a right forearm issue and later with a fracture in his left ring finger – before getting activated last weekend.Tellez acknowledged Friday the fi...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Much of Kenya awoke Saturday morning to find it’s still without electricity after an unexplained power outage Friday night shut down the country’s main international airport and led to a rare public apology by a government minister.“I am really sorry for what has happened,” transport minister Kipchumba Murkomen said in a statement close to midnight. “There is no excuse worth reporting and there is no reason why our airport is in darkness.”This latest outage affecting much of the country comes just weeks before Kenya’s government hosts the first Africa Climate Summit, where energy will be key on the agenda. Kenya gets almost all its energy from renewable sources, but infrastructure and alleged mismanagement remain an issue in the country of more than 50 million people.Kenya Power announced in a brief statement a “system disturbance leading to loss of bulk power supply” to parts of the country just before 10 p.m. Friday. Shortly after midnight, it reported ...
