I hate fumbling.Matt Ryan completed 17 of 23 passes for 286 yards, including a pair of 9-yard scoring tosses to Taylor Gabriel and Austin Hooper.Aldrick Robinson, stepping up with Atlanta star Julio Jones missing his second straight game with a toe injury, had a career-best 111 yards on four receptions.It just lets you know how much depth we have and how much we think about those guys, Freeman said.

Freeman scored on a 5-yard run in the first quarter, bounced off three would-be tacklers for a 9-yard TD in the second, and got loose down the sideline for his longest run of the day late in the third to give the Falcons a 38-13 lead.Colin Kaepernick was 20 of 33 for 183 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

As I said, this series is not going to determine it all, but at the same time, and how its been going, we know we need to start rolling here and get back to who we are.That didnt happen Tuesday night. Bochy and the Giants performed much like the same team that has played more poorly than any since the All-Star break. San Francisco dropped a 9-5 decision to the rival Dodgers in the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.Right-hander Johnny Cueto (14-3, 2.90 ERA) will try to help Bochy and the Giants right the ship Wednesday when he faces Dodgers lefty Rich Hill (9-3, 2.25 ERA).Cueto earned his first win of the second half in his last start by beating the New York Mets on Friday. Cueto allowed a run and scattered eight hits in seven innings. He struck out two and walked none in an 8-1 victory.Against the Dodgers, Cueto is 2-0 with a 3.63 ERA this season.Hill, acquired by Los Angeles along with right fielder Josh Reddick from the Oakland Athletics at the trade deadline, will be making his Los Angeles debut. He spent the past month on the disabled list with bllisters on his middle pitching finger.ddddddddddddWere excited about that, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Hills first start.Hill last faced the Giants as a member of the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 22, 2007. Although he didnt factor into the decision, Hill fanned 10 and gave up two runs on six hits in seven innings of a 4-2 Cubs win.San Francisco (68-57) has lost three in a row and seven of its past nine games. The Giants had the best record in the majors at the All-Star break at 57-33 but have stumbled to the worst mark since then, 11-24.Despite it all, the Giants have remained within sniffing distance of the Dodgers (70-55). Los Angeles is riding a three-game winning streak.I think its going to be important we get cracking. Its been a struggle since the break for us, Bochy said. The record shows it, and you look at some of the numbers and some things are hard to explain, but it is what it is. Thats behind us. Hopefully, something will spur us to get back to where we were in the first half.Roberts is as surprised as anyone regarding the Giants struggles, but his club is benefitting.Its a very good team over there, Roberts said. And considering how theyve played in the first half and the (win-loss record) in the second half, yeah its a surprise. That just shows that every game is tough to win. ' ' '
