LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. Jennings replaced Seattles Richard Sherman. Long takes the place of San Franciscos Mike Iupati, who is injured and unable to participate. Jennings led the Bears with four interceptions, returning two for touchdowns. He also tied for the team lead with three forced fumbles and had one opponent fumble recovery. Jennings has 13 interceptions over the past two seasons, second to Shermans 16. Long helped solidify a line with four new starters after Chicago had struggled to protect Jay Cutler in recent years. The son of Hall of Famer Howie Long, he started all 16 games at right guard after being drafted with the 20th pick and was part of a team that set a franchise record for total net yards (6,109), while finishing second in club history in points (445). Kyle Long is the Bears first offensive lineman to make the Pro Bowl since guard Ruben Brown and centre Olin Kreutz for the 2006 season. The Bears have five Pro Bowlers, with Jennings and Long joining running back Matt Forte and receivers Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall. Tev...

Jed Lowrie hit a three-run homer, Brandon Moss added a two-run shot and the As kept rolling into the playoffs with their fifth straight victory, 10-5 over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Tommy Milone pitched into the sixth inning and Seth Smith had an early RBI double for the AL West champions, who have won 11 of 13. Oakland could have been excused for signs of a hangover from Sundays home finale and the resulting party in the Coliseum clubhouse, but thats not how this increasingly remarkable team operates. "Just because we clinched yesterday, that doesnt mean were not going for more," Milone said. "Home-field advantage, whatever it is. Were not going to stop." Seven As drove in a run at the Big A as Oakland (94-63) moved to a season-high 31 games over .500 with the majors second-best record, just behind Boston (95-62). If the As can catch the Red Sox over the final five games, theyll have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. "Thats whats great about this team," Lowrie said. "Were doing a good job of staying steady. It carried over to today, even after the celebration last night. ... Were just going to go out there and do what weve done all year. Wherever that puts us, thats where we end up, and thats where we should be." The As have scored 49 runs in their last five games, and the offensive barrage didnt let up after the club clinched its second consecutive division title Sunday. Lowrie hit his 15th homer in the third inning in Anaheim, and Moss followed with his 28th in the fifth. "They play the same regardless, every day," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "Whether its a tough loss, whether its a win, whatever. Any time you can get home-field advantage, its important, but were just focused on winning as many games as we can, and if that happens, then its a good thing." Milone (12-9) struck out eight while giving up five hits and two earned runs in his second start since Aug. 27. He pitched two innings of relief last Friday, but got this spot start in A.J. Griffins place. Howie Kendrick homered and hit a three-run double for the Angels (76-80), who have lost two straight after winning 21 of 28. They hadnt lost by more than three runs since Sept. 3, but couldnt keep up with Oakland in the openeer of the final home series of the season.dddddddddddd "Whether we get to .500 or not, were just trying to win ballgames," Kendrick said. "Theyre a good team, and they made the post-season. Tonight they came up with a couple of long balls and went up early. We came back and still had a lot of fight." Garrett Richards (7-7) gave up eight hits and seven runs while failing to get out of the fifth inning in his worst start since joining the Angels rotation full-time in late July. The right-hander got rocked in his final home audition for a rotation spot in 2014, giving up the most runs he has allowed in 12 starts taking Joe Blantons spot. "I was just a little off tonight," Richards said. "Those guys came out hacking, and they barrelled up a lot of balls early and kind of caught me off guard. I didnt give us a chance to win, but Im not discouraged by it." Josh Reddick, Smith and Stephen Vogt delivered consecutive two-out hits off Richards in the second inning, scoring two runs. Kendrick replied in the bottom half with his first homer since July 6. The Angels second baseman missed 33 games with a hyperextended left knee, but has hits in eight of his nine games since returning. Coco Crisp and Josh Donaldson then opened the third with singles before Lowries homer into the elevated right-field stands. Los Angeles loaded the bases in the third on Kole Calhouns walk, and Mike Trout struck out before Kendrick pounded a line drive high off the wall in right, matching his season high with four RBIs. Oakland kept piling on with Moss homer and Eric Sogards RBI single in the sixth. Former Angels infielder Alberto Callaspo had an RBI single for the As in the ninth. After going 1 for 10 in last weekends series against Seattle, Trout struck out three times against Milone before beating out an infield single in the eighth. He is 13 hits shy of 200 for the season. NOTES: Angels 1B Mark Trumbo, stuck in an 0-for-16 slump, drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. ... Griffins start was pushed back to Tuesday against Los Angeles LHP Jason Vargas. Angels ace Jered Weaver is expected to make his scheduled start Wednesday after missing last weeks turn with tightness in his forearm. ... Angels RHP Tommy Hanson made his first career relief appearance in the seventh, pitching 2 1-3 innings in his first action since a demotion to Triple-A Salt Lake in mid-August.
