CHICAGO -- Travis Wood got four outs and made an impressive catch in left field. Pitcher Jon Lester made the winning play -- at the plate. Five Chicago Cubs played two or more positions.Manager Joe Maddon went deep into his bag of tricks to steal one from the Seattle Mariners.Lester drove in Jason Heyward with a two-strike squeeze bunt in the 12th inning, and the Cubs overcame a six-run deficit on the way to a wild 7-6 victory over the Mariners on Sunday night.I just kept telling myself `Dont be late to square around, Lester said. Thats one thing over the last year that Ive kind of picked up on on bunting, and its helped me just be a little more consistent.Heyward sparked the winning rally with a leadoff double against Cody Martin (1-1). He advanced on Willson Contreras fly ball to center before Lester, hitting for Hector Rondon (2-2), managed to get a safety squeeze down right in front of the plate.Heyward made it home with a headfirst slide, sparking a frenzied celebration at Wrigley Field.Joe does it again, Lester said. You kind of sit there sometimes and scratch your head and it seems to always kind of work out.The Cubs trailed 6-3 before they pushed across three runs in the ninth against Steve Cishek, handing the sidewinding right-hander his sixth blown save in 31 opportunities. Addison Russell hit an RBI single and Contreras drove in another run when he hustled down the line to beat out a potential double-play grounder.With two outs and runners on the corners, Cishek uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Russell to come home with the tying run. Matt Szczur then flied out to right, ending the inning.Stuff was terrible tonight, Cishek said. I had a hard time commanding my fastball, slider was the not the same and I got exposed.It was a heartbreaking loss for Seattle, which was in position to take the rubber game of the weekend series before the late rally by Chicago. Nelson Cruz, Robinson Cano and Dae-Ho Lee each hit a two-run homer against Brian Matusz, helping the Mariners jump out to a 6-0 lead.I think for our club, coming in here, theyve got the best record in baseball. And quite frankly, we should have got two out of three, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. It didnt happen. Youve got to finish.Looking for an extra day of rest for its rotation, Chicago promoted Matusz from Triple-A Iowa for a spot start. The Cubs also wanted to take a look at the veteran left-hander before an opt-out clause in his contract gave him the option of leaving the organization.What they saw was a shaky three innings. Matusz, who signed a minor league deal with Chicago in June after he was cut by Atlanta, allowed six hits, walked two, threw a wild pitch and hit a batter.Long after Matusz departed, Wood worked out of a jam in the sixth and then made a solid grab while playing left in the seventh. Wood hauled in Franklin Gutierrezs liner as he collided with the ivy-covered wall, earning a standing ovation from the crowd of 40,952 and big smiles from Maddon and reliever Pedro Strop.Travis, star of the game, between his pitching and that catch he made at the wall, Maddon said. Not many guys play a brick wall like he just did. That was a great catch.Wood returned to the mound in the eighth and threw to first as Shawn OMalley was caught stealing to end the inning.This was an exciting one, just with everything going on, us battling back, Wood said. Playing as good as we could and battling back and pulling it off.TRADING MILEYOn the eve of the non-waiver trade deadline, Seattle dealt left-hander Wade Miley to Baltimore for lefty Ariel Miranda. The Cuban pitcher has spent most of the year with Triple-A Norfolk. He appeared in one game for Baltimore on July 3 at Seattle, allowing three runs and four hits in two innings.WORTH NOTINGMatusz is the second lefty and seventh pitcher overall to start for Chicago this season. Reliever Justin Grimm was optioned to Iowa to make room on the roster.UP NEXTMariners: LHP James Paxton (3-5, 4.27 ERA) gets the ball when Seattle returns home for the opener of a four-game set against Boston on Monday night. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (2-4, 6.51 ERA) pitches for the Red Sox.Cubs: RHP Kyle Hendricks (9-7, 2.39 ERA) takes on Miami LHP Adam Conley (7-5, 3.38 ERA) on Monday in the opener of a three-game series. Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki comes to Wrigley Field just two hits shy of 3,000 for his major league career.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Blank Jersey . Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May. Gabriel Bourque scored 3:07 into the second period and Austin Watson tallied 5:15 later for Nashville. Fikayo Tomori Jersey . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. http://www.chelseafcproshop.com/Kids-Davide-Zappacosta-Jersey/ . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Antonio Rudiger Jersey . During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula. Emerson Jersey .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal. The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. TORONTO -- One bad inning spoiled an otherwise solid start by Kansas Citys Edinson Volquez.Aaron Sanchez overcame flu-like symptoms to work eight innings and win his eighth straight decision, Josh Donaldson and Darwin Barney each hit two-run singles in a four-run seventh and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Volquez and the Royals 6-2 on Monday night.Troy Tulowitzki had two hits, his third multi-hit game in the past four, as the Blue Jays won a rematch of last years ALCS, which Kansas City won in six games.Volquez allowed four runs and four hits in six-plus innings. He is winless in three starts, allowing 15 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings.Its a pretty good lineup over there, Volquez said. You cant make a lot of mistakes. They make you pay and I did in the seventh inning.Volquez (7-8) left after the first three batters reached to load the bases. Luke Hochevar came on and walked Devon Travis to bring in the go ahead run. Barney followed with a two-run single.That was the whole game, Volquez said. I got myself in trouble in that inning.After Ezequiel Carrera advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt, Donaldson lined a two-run single to right, making it 6-1.Sanchez (9-1) has not lost since April 22, against Oakland. He allowed one run and three hits and matched the longest start of his career.He threw the ball extremely well, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Good downhill action on a 95 mile per hour fastball, good curveball. He just threw a great game.Sanchez retired the first seven batters he faced and held the Royals hitless until Cheslor Cuthberts two-out single to center in the fifth. The next hitter, Alcides Escobar, grounded out.Thats the name of the game, trying to get these guys back into the dugout as fast as I can, Sanchez said. When you can do that you kind of keep a flow of things.Sanchez also gave up one run in eight innings at Colorado in hiss previous start.dddddddddddd.Its just starting to come together for him, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. I think hes going to get even better and better.Michael Saunders gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead with an RBI groundout off Volquez in the first after the Royals couldnt turn a potential inning-ending double play.Toronto nearly doubled its lead in the fourth but Alex Gordon threw out Edwin Encarnacion trying to score from second on Kevin Pillars two-out single to left.When (Gordon) first got that ball I thought hes got no shot at throwing (Encarnacion) out, Yost said. All of a sudden, boom, here we go. He came up firing. It was a fantastic throw.Kansas City tied it when Kendrys Morales homered off Sanchez to begin the seventh, his 15th. Morales has hit five home runs in his past five games.Eric Hosmer hit a two-out homer off Brett Cecil in the ninth, his 13th.TOUGH TIME WITH TORONTOVolquez is 0-5 with a 6.38 ERA in seven career starts against the Blue Jays.EARLY RETURNSThe Blue Jays have scored in the first inning in their past three games.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Yordano Ventura has a Grade 1 sprain of his right ankle but hopes to make his next start, Friday against Seattle, manager Ned Yost said. Ventura left Sundays start after he was injured running the bases.Blue Jays: RHP Marco Estrada received multiple cortisone injections in his sore lower back and expects to make his next start, Thursday against Detroit.UP NEXTRoyals: RHP Chris Young (2-7, 6.24) is 0-5 with a 8.53 ERA in six road starts. Young is winless on the road since a victory at Chicago on July 17, 2015.Blue Jays: RHP R.A. Dickey (5-9, 4.21) is 0-6 with a 5.14 ERA in eight home starts. The knuckleballer has lost three of his past four decisions.
