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.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Beating its second Colorado opponent in as many weeks is big in more ways than one for a young Wyoming program that won just two games last season.Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen said wins against Air Force on Saturday and against Colorado State the previous week are important not only to the Cowboys program as a whole but to the many players on the Wyoming roster who hail from neighboring Colorado and may have not been recruited by the Colorado teams.Obviously theres some heated tension, I guess, between us and Colorado teams, said Allen, who threw for three touchdowns in leading the Cowboys over Air Force 35-26 Saturday.Allen completed 15 of 27 passes for 173 yards for Wyoming (4-2, 2-0 Mountain West). He had TD passes of 17 yards to Tanner Gentry, 20 yards to Jake Maulhardt and 32 yards to Jacob Hollister.After the game, Allen lamented a couple of missed throws to wide-open receivers that would have resulted in big gains.We played good enough to win even with those few mistakes that I made, he said.Allen also rushed for 74 yards, including a 34-yard run to set up a TD that iced the win in the final two minutes.Falcons safety Weston Steelhammer said Allen is a very dynamic quarterback both on the ground and through the air.He made something out of nothing more than once, he said.Brian Hill contributed 92 yards and a touchdown on the ground for the Cowboys, who more than tripled the 53 rushing yards Air Force had held its opponents on average in the previous four games.Air Force (4-1, 1-1) was led by quarterback Nate Romine, who passed for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Romine was also intercepted three times after entering the game without having thrownn an interception on the season.ddddddddddddI just dont think we were locked in, especially me, Romine said. That was probably my worst football Ive ever played since Ive been here.Wyomings defense held the Falcons to 149 yards rushing. The Falcons had been averaging 312.8 rushing yards a game.THE TAKEWAYAIR FORCE: The Falcons saw their hopes for starting the season 5-0 for the first time since 2003 dashed.Falcons coach Troy Calhoun said Wyomings offensive and defensive lines had too much size.I thought it was pretty evident that theyre eating well, Calhoun said.WYOMING: The Cowboys have won four of the last six meetings between the two teams.The defense has scored in three consecutive games. On Saturday, linebacker D.J. May picked up a fumble by Jacobi Owens on Air Forces 15-yard line and jogged into the end zone. The Cowboys defense has scored four touchdowns off turnovers this season.Wyoming coach Craig Bohl attributed the opportunistic defense to better speed and athleticism in the unit this year.Were ahead of the curve there, and we just got to keep it coming. I know it helps a lot, he said.POLL IMPLICATIONSAir Force received votes in last weeks AP poll after winning its first four games of the season, but the loss to Wyoming likely will result in voters losing interest in the Falcons.UP NEXTAIR FORCE: The Falcons will host New Mexico on Saturday, but the game will be played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas as one of the college games during the annual Texas State Fair.WYOMING: The Cowboys have a bye week before heading to Nevada on Oct. 22.
