MIAMI -- With Giancarlo Stanton going on the disabled list and likely out for the rest of the regular season, manager Don Mattingly said the Miami Marlins would need to find new ways to win.Thats what they did Sunday. Pitcher Tom Koehler hit a two-run infield single. Ichiro Suzuki drove in a runner from second base with a sacrifice bunt. And Christian Yelich threw a strike from left field on the final play, giving Miami a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox.We lost a little confidence knowing the big guy is going to be on the DL, third baseman Martin Prado said. But we had a mission today -- go up there and find a way to perform.The victory averted a series sweep and provided a morale boost for the Marlins, who put Stanton and left-hander Adam Conley on the disabled list before the game. Stanton is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks with a strained groin.Were not the same club without him, but were still good enough to move forward, Mattingly said. Well have a little different look.The Marlins won without Stanton on their first try when Yelich threw out pinch-runner Carlos Sanchez trying to score from second base on a two-out hit in the ninth inning.With runners at first and second, Tyler Saladino singled to left, but Yelich charged to field the ball on one hop and threw on the fly to catcher Jeff Mathis, who blocked the plate and tagged Sanchez for the game-ending out.I let the throw go and saw it was going to stay pretty straight and we had a shot, Yelich said. Matty caught it and put the tag on him. I was looking at (my teammates) and they were pumped, and I said, `This is pretty sweet.Chicago manager Robin Ventura said Sanchez was right to run the bases aggressively.You have to make them make a good play, and they did, Ventura said. It was a great throw.Fernando Rodney got his third save for Miami despite allowing three hits in the ninth, including a solo homer by Tim Anderson.Chris Sale (14-6) allowed five runs in 6 2/3 innings. Hes 0-4 in his past six starts and hasnt won since his suspension for cutting up the teams throwback jerseys July 23.Im not doing too much to help us win, Sale said. Its frustrating. It would be frustrating for anybody. I dont know what my lines are or my stats are, but I just know Im not winning games.Miami trailed 2-0 before scoring three times in the fifth, thanks to four consecutive singles and Suzukis RBI bunt, which caught the White Sox napping.The bunt came with runners at first and second and nobody out, and catcher Omar Narvaez hustled toward the mound to field the ball and throw Suzuki out. But that left the plate uncovered, and Robert Andino -- who had been at second base -- kept running and scored without a throw.Sale said he was guilty of a brain cramp.Ive got to be at home plate for that, he said.Prados RBI single in the seventh put Miami ahead to stay. Marcell Ozuna snapped a 1-for-28 slump with two hits and drove in a run. Suzuki, who becomes a regular with Stanton out, didnt add to his career total of 3,003 hits but contributed his 13th RBI and scored Miamis final run.Koehler allowed three runs in six innings. Mike Dunn (3-1) pitched a perfect seventh.Chicagos Adam Eaton homered on the games first pitch. Jose Abreu hit an RBI single in the first inning, and a game-tying double that caromed off the third-base bag in the sixth.LATE ARRIVAL2B Andino, recalled from Triple-A to take Stantons roster spot, flew overnight from Las Vegas, landed at 9 a.m. and went directly to the ballpark. I aint complaining, he said. The nine-year veteran went 1 for 3 in his first major league game since 2013.GLOVE GEMS2B Saladino retreated into short center field to make running catches that robbed Prado and Adeiny Hechavarria of hits. The latter grab came with two runners aboard to end the second inning.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins INF Derek Dietrich was sore after being hit by a pitch Saturday for the 22nd time, this time in the right leg. He walked as a pinch-hitter in the eighth Sunday.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP David Phelps (5-6, 2.40) is scheduled to start Monday when Miami begins a four-game series at Cincinnati. The Marlins swept a three-game set from the Reds in July.White Sox: LHP Jose Quintana (9-8, 2.85) is scheduled to start Tuesday when Chicago opens a three-game series at Cleveland. The Indians have won six in a row from the White Sox. Swell Drink Bottles NZ Sale .

George Washingtons Maurice Joseph, who received the interim coaching tag just prior to the start of practice, says he isnt focused on trying to land the job on a permanent basis.Joseph, 31, was the surprise choice to take over the program for the current season when Mike Lonergan was fired last month after an internal investigation following allegations he verbally and emotionally abused his players.Joseph, along with fellow assistants Hajj Turner and Carmen Maciariello, interviewed for the job. Joseph played two seasons at Michigan State before transferring to Vermont, where he played his final two years for Lonergan.I never got into the habit of looking down the road, Joseph told ESPN. Maybe thats a gift and a curse. Maybe I should be thinking, Lets make the tournament, and I can get this job. But Im not. I really just want to have a good practice today.Just days after receiving the news from athletic director Patrick Nero that he would be leading the program, Joseph flew out and spent a day with Michigan State coach Tom Izzo.[Izzo] told me to be myself, Joseph said. Theres going to be advice from every angle, youve got to run this, change that -- run what you know and be yourself, dont waver from who you are or the guys will be able to see that. He said, Be yourself and teach what you know.Joseph said that despite the perception, everything has run smoothly since he was given the interim tag on Sept. 18.From outside looking in, that might be the assumption, Joseph said. Turmoil. Players from Day 1, since the day the news broke of Coach Lonergan, have been unified. Its remarkable how tightly knit they stayed.Our staff -- obviously its an awkward situation, he added. But those guys have been tremendous in terms of dealing with it. Weve all taken the approach its all haands on deck and theres no ego involved.dddddddddddd The task at hand is really to take care of our guys who have gone through some adversity, going through a major change, and focus on getting better. Theres no discussion from administration or my part in terms of the future.Joseph inherits a team that lost three starters from a group that won 28 games and claimed the NIT title.It was surprising a little bit, but once I sat down and thought about it, it made a lot of sense, leading returning scorer Tyler Cavanaugh told ESPN of Josephs selection as the interim. Hes been great -- young, positive, great energy. Hes very positive energy. Hes been really good -- drills running around the floor. Its a change. Coach Lonergan was old school. Especially for young guys, its great to have a young coach leading us. Keeping us all together has been the big thing -- for the staff and the players.Everyone really respects [Joseph], Colonials guard Jaren Sina added. Hes really brought energy, thats the one thing hes really emphasized. Been a buzz, new level of intensity and thats brought excitement. Its made for really fun practices.Joseph said he wont make wholesale changes on the court, especially coming off last years NIT championship and the success the program has had the past few years under Lonergan.In five seasons under Lonergan, the Colonials were 97-70 and went to the NCAA tournament in 2014.Well tweak some things defensively, schemes and positioning, Joseph said. Offensively, well play with a little more tempo. But other than that, we had great sets. Well put in some sets. We won the NIT. Were in a good spot in terms of being able to move forward. ' ' '
