CHICAGO -- With the Cubs in desperate need of a win, manager Joe Maddon put Jason Heyward in right field for Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night.?The move paid immediate rewards, as Heyward collected singles in his first two at-bats against the Indians. He finished 2-for-4 in the Cubs 7-2 loss.?It marked the first start for Heyward since he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series at Los Angeles. The 27-year-old, who signed a $184 million, eight-year contract with Chicago last winter, did not play in the World Series opener at Cleveland and entered each of the past two games as a pinch runner before staying in to play right.The Indians also made a couple of intriguing changes with ace Corey Kluber on the mound. They put?Rajai Davis in left field and moved?Carlos Santana to first base. That meant Mike Napoli was out of the lineup for the first time in the postseason, after he played a key role in Clevelands run to the AL pennant.With Kluber pitching, Id like us to have a good defense out there, manager Terry Francona said. I labored back and forth on our first baseman. I hated like crazy not playing Napoli. I physically hate it. But Naps going to play tomorrow against the lefty, and we may put Santana back in the outfield tomorrow again. Well see. I just thought tonight it would serve us better, even having Nap out of the lineup, to have a defense in there and with Rajai playing.Heyward entered Saturday night 2-for-31 with nine strikeouts in 12 playoff games this year, continuing his struggles from the regular season. He hit .230 with a career-low seven homers in 142 games in 2016.For right now, pretty much just go play without overthinking it right now, Maddon said before the game. Just go play and just contribute to us winning somehow. But absolutely, its something that needs to be addressed, and he will address it in the offseason. I have a lot of faith in him going into next year.Maddon also moved second baseman Javier Baez down one spot in the order to eighth. The 23-year-old Baez, co-MVP of the NLCS with pitcher Jon Lester, went 0-for-4 in Chicagos 1-0 loss on Friday. He struck out with runners on second and third to end the game.The last couple nights maybe shows that he is 22 or 23 years of age, Maddon said. Maybe, finally, he demonstrates that. Again, what that requires more than anything is just talking to him. Having him getting back to the approach that made him so successful for the last two series in the latter part of the season.

SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners hit fewer home runs than the New York Yankees, but got more scoring out of them.Mike Zunino and Kyle Seager each hit a three-run homer and Nelson Cruz added a solo shot as the Mariners rallied to beat the Yankees 7-5 Monday night.The Yankees got two homers apiece from rookie catcher Gary Sanchez and Starlin Castro -- all off starter Cody Martin -- but three of them were solo shots.You win by the homer, you die by the homer, Mariners manager Scott Servais said.

I ended up seeing only one fastball. Thats where I step out 3-2 and tell myself to commit to hitting the slider and I was able to get one up in the zone and drive it.Cruz added a solo homer, his 32nd, in the eighth.Nick Vincent (3-3) retired all three batters he faced to get the win. Rookie Edwin Diaz survived a shaky ninth, putting runners on second and third with one out before getting Mark Teixeira on a fly ball and Brett Gardner on a grounder to pick up his 10th save in 10 chances.The Mariners, who gave up four runs in the ninth inning in a 7-6 loss to Milwaukee on Sunday when Diaz was rested, remained one game behind Baltimore for the second American League wild card.Robinson Cano singled to open the bottom of the sixth and Seager drew a one-out walk, chasing starter Michael Pineda.

Sanchez also had a single in four at-bats to raise his average to .385 and threw out a runner trying to steal second.Its very tough when you can put a couple runs on the board and hit some home runs but youu dont win the game, Sanchez said.dddddddddddd Unfortunately, it didnt go our way tonight, tomorrow we have to come back and try to win.Seagers three-run homer put Seattle up 3-2 in the fourth. Seth Smith doubled and moved to third on Canos single. Smith was then caught too far down the line on Cruzs high chopper and was tagged out trying to get back to third. Seager got the green light on a 3-0 pitch and hit his 24th homer over the center-field wall.Its the ultimate hitters count, Seager said. If you get into that count and you get the green light, you can be as picky as you want to be. Fortunately for me there, I got a pitch to hit. Theyre hard to come by off of him (Pineda).Mariners right fielder Shawn OMalley, who came on as a defensive replacement in the seventh, had a sensational catch for the second out of that inning, making a long run into foul territory and reaching over the wall to snag Tyler Austins fly ball, hanging on as he tumbled into the seats.SANCHEZ REMAINS RED HOTOver his last seven games, the Yankees rookie catcher is hitting .560 (14-for-25) with six homers, two doubles, nine RBI, four walks and six runs scored.Its been unbelievable what hes done, the way hes swung the bat, the way hes played defense, the job hes done, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
