TORONTO (AP) — Adam Jones stepped to the plate in the first inning http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey , saw a familiar face behind the plate and gave the Toronto catcher a warm, welcoming thump.Quite an unlikely reunion, indeed.“It was cool,” ‘I’m proud of you, man. You made it.’ I’ll never forget it.”On Monday night, Jansen and the Baltimore Orioles star outfielder met up for the first time in quite a while.The two hadn’t seen one another since 2004, when Jones lived with the Jansen family in Appleton, Wisconsin, while playing for the local Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Host families are common in the low minors, a way of helping young players settle into the off-the-field routine of pro ball.Jones was 18 back then, a first-round draft pick in his second season in the Seattle Mariners’ organization. Jansen was 9, an aspiring athlete and, by his own admission, more than a little irritating at times.“I was young, so any ballplayer in there was a hero to me,” Jansen said of the different minor leaguers who inhabited his family home. “He was the most successful one that we had, baseball-wise. I was always the kid asking for a bat and a ball. He was just like, ‘Get away from me, man Bill Melton Jersey , get away from me.'”Jones did eventually hand a souvenir over to Jansen, but the treasured gift didn’t last too long.“He finally gave me a bat, and I was fortunate enough to have a batting cage in my backyard,” Jansen recalled. “My brother Matt, who is seven years older than me, he took the bat one day and he was taking BP and he broke it. I was upset about that one, I’ll tell you what. I probably had it for two weeks. I was nine, I couldn’t swing it anyway. I just thought it was cool he finally gave me a bat after a season of me asking for one. The next thing you know, it’s broken.”After moving up to Double-A the following summer, and later to the majors, Jones kept in touch with Jansen and his family, connecting through text messages and social media.With their own children now grown and out of the house, the Jansens resumed hosting minor league players this summer.“They always said it’s nice to have more boys in the house, to just have players and people around,” Jansen said.Before Tuesday’s game, Jones declined to speak about his relationship with Jansen, offering only a brief assessment of the rookie’s offensive abilities.“I’ll tell you this: he can hit,” Jones said of Jansen, who entered Tuesday riding a six-game hitting streak to begin his career.Otherwise, Jones preferred to tell his side of the story through social media. Prior to Monday’s game http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey , the 33-year-old Jones tweeted a welcome to the 23-year-old Jansen.“Reunited with my old host family @D_Jansen31,” Jones wrote. “So proud of you pimp. From waking me up at 7am before you had to go to school and me getting in at 4am from a loooong bus trip, to playing against each other in the show!!!! This is a Movie.”In reply, Jansen tweeted “Let’s have some fun big bro.”On Tuesday afternoon, Jones tweeted a 2004 photograph of himself in a Timber Rattlers uniform, posing alongside a youthful Jansen, who is in his little league uniform“Hey @D_Jansen31, why you gotta grow up on me!!!!!,” Jones wrote.“14 years later and you still look the same,” Jansen joked in reply.Jones and Jansen exchanged more looks and gestures Monday after Jansen flied out to Jones to end the bottom of the first inning. Jones was there to make the catch again when Jansen flied out to right field to begin the sixth in Toronto’s 5-3 win. 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, 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 Early Wynn Jersey , 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, 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.
