MIAMI (AP) — Derek Jeter signaled Thursday that Don Mattingly

is expected to return next year as manager of the Miami Marlins http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-starlin-castro-jersey , providing some dugout continuity for a last-place team in transition.Mattingly has one season to go on a four-year contract he signed when he joined the Marlins for the 2016 season.“Is he going to be back in 2019?” Jeter said. “He’s under contract. Yeah.”The Marlins will finish last in the NL East in Jeter’s first year as CEO. They began their final home series of the season Thursday with a record of 59-92, giving Mattingly a three-year record of 215-259 (.454).Mattingly has said he likes the challenge of developing the Marlins’ many young players. He also has embraced Jeter’s approach to rebuilding a franchise that hasn’t had a winning season since 2009, the longest streak in the majors, and hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2003.“The one thing you can count on with Derek is that what he says, he’s going to do,” Mattingly said. “He talked about building the minor league system, building this thing the right way. I don’t think there’s one thing he talked about publicly that he hasn’t backed up with his actions. You trust what he says and what he’s going to do.”This year’s poor record was expected after the Marlins traded half their starting lineup for prospects last offseason to reduce payroll and fortify a weak farm system.Even so, losing has been tough for Jeter, who played for a perennial contender when he was shortstop for the New York Yankees.“That’s the ultimate judge for a team — wins and losses,” Jeter said. “But this is a transitional year for us to learn as much as we possible could about this organization.”The Marlins will finish last in the majors in attendance, and last in the NL for the 13th time in 14 years. Their crowds have averaged fewer than 10 J. T. Realmuto Jersey ,000, the worst figure in the majors since the Montreal Expos’ final season in 2004.“That’s something we need to improve,” Jeter said. “Where we’re starting from, the only way we can go is up.” CHICAGO (AP) — The wind blowing in posed a challenge to some hitters. Not Mike Trout.Trout homered twice and drove in five runs, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 12-3 on Saturday night.Trout’s 5-for-5 performance matched his career high for hits in a game and raised his batting average to .314.“The two balls he hit were killed,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “The wind was pushing them back. It shows you how strong Mike is. Great at-bats.”David Fletcher, Shohei Ohtani and Andrelton Simmons had two hits each for the Angels, who have won four of five.Ohtani hit a bases-clearing triple and scored on one of Thyago Vieira’s three wild pitches in a six-run ninth inning.Yolmer Sanchez and Kevan Smith each had two hits for the White Sox, who lost their fourth straight.Trout hit a full-count, two-run homer to center field with one out in the first inning. Justin Upton added an RBI single to make it 3-0.Trout smacked another full-count homer off White Sox starter James Shields — a three-run shot for his 33rd home run of the season — in the third, extending the lead to 6-1. He has 14 career multi-home run games and four this season. His most recent was July 25 http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-starlin-castro-jersey , against the White Sox.“I knew he was going to have a big game today, something about his swag today and it made me realize again how good of a player he is,” Ohtani said through a translator.Trout last had five hits May 26 at the Yankees, and drove in five RBIs in a game Sept. 17, 2015, against Minnesota.“He seems to get me quite often, unfortunately,” Shields said. “He’s one of the best hitters in the game, if not the best hitter, so can’t really do that to that guy.”Six of Trout’s nine career hits against Shields have been home runs.“He’s been a great pitcher,” Trout said. “We compete against each other. It’s fun. Just not missing pitches. I can’t tell you the reason. Just getting a pitch to hit and just not missing.”In his other at-bats Miguel Rojas Jersey , Trout singled.“Couple balls they hit were hit pretty well. They just died,” Trout said about the wind. “It was weird. It was swirling the whole night.”Matt Shoemaker (2-0) gave up three runs and seven hits for the Angels in his second start since coming off the disabled list and third overall start this season. He has allowed six runs in 15 2/3 innings. Shoemaker missed 134 games after his season debut due to a right forearm strain.Four relievers combined to throw four one-hit innings.Shields (6-16) allowed six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. It was his shortest outing since July 25.Yoan Moncada and Sanchez hit back-to-back doubles in the first to pull the White Sox within two.Smith’s double in the fourth cut the lead to 6-3.OHTANI UPDATEOhtani has a right thigh contusion after colliding with Vieira when he scored. He said he is fine and will be able to play Sunday.MAKING MOVESThe White Sox placed right-hander Michael Kopech on the 60-day disabled list Saturday after learning Friday he will likely need Tommy John surgery and miss next season. The team purchased the contract of right-hander Rob Scahill, who was 3-4 with a 5.64 ERA in 52 relief appearances at Triple-A Charlotte.TRAINER’S ROOMWhite Sox: 1B Jose Abreu (testicular surgery) will possibly return to the lineup Monday at Kansas City, manager Rick Renteria said. Abreu and LF Leury Garcia (strained hamstring) took live batting practice Saturday. Garcia is a little further away from a return, Renteria said. .RHP Nate Jones (pronator muscle strain) looked good throwing Saturday, Renteria said. Jones will take a day or two off and possibly throw in another simulated game before being activated.WELCOMEJoe Hudson made his major league debut with the Angels. He grounded out as a pinch hitter in the ninth.UP NEXTLHP Andrew Heaney (8-9, 4.16 ERA) is set to start for the Angels in the series finale Sunday against the White Sox, and RHP Reynaldo Lopez (5-9, 4.37). Heaney is 1-6 with a 5.02 ERA on the road this season, but 0-0 with a 2.31 ERA in two career starts against Chicago. Lopez has not earned a home victory since June 26.
