No offense to Eric Thames, but the Chicago Cubs may very well feature the hottest bat in Major League Baseball.
Outfielder Jason Heyward continued his hot start to the season Monday, driving in four runs to help lead his team to a 14-3 win over division-rival Pittsburgh. On the night, though, it’s hard to put your finger on a player who played poorly.
Chicago (11-8) pounded out a staggering 17 hits, drawing nine walks and striking out just four times. Over the first three innings alone, the Cubs put up 10 runs, before adding four more between the sixth, seventh and eighth.
