Seattle falls in heartbreaker after early lead

CHICAGO -- Jason Heyward scored on pinch-hitting pitcher Jon Lester's sacrifice bunt in the 12th inning to lift the Cubs to a 7-6, come-from-behind Interleague victory on Sunday night over the Mariners, who blew a six-run lead.

With the game tied at 6, Heyward hit a double into the right-center gap off Cody Martin, and then advanced on rookie Willson Contreras' fly ball out to center. Lester, pinch-hitting for pitcher Hector Rondon, then dribbled a bunt in front of home plate for the game-winner.
