Chicago Cubs’ Jason Heyward breaks out in win over Angels

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Chicago Cubs combined for more than two dozen knocks and 23 runs. All that matters to Chicago fans is Jason Heyward.

The veteran outfielder contributed in a big way with his first two hits of the spring. His first, a mammoth home run to right field off Jesse Chavez, was a 400-foot blast. The shot was reminiscent of his first big-league hit that came against the Cubs and Carlos Zambrano.

After a three-run second for the Angels, Chicago answered right back with a Ben Zobrist bloop single and a run scored on a Cliff Pennington error, tying the game 3-3.
