TEMPE, Ariz. - Jason Heyward can breathe easy.
After an 0-for-15 start to the spring, the guy that some Cubs fans have unfairly called the league's most expensive fourth outfielder has officially gotten started silencing the haters.
Heyward smiled easily as he met with the media Monday afternoon at Tempe Diablo Stadium after hitting a long homer and collecting a two-run double in the Cubs' 13-10 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
After a nice day at the plate, it's easy to admit the hitless start to Cactus League play was weighing on him.
"0-for-15 is gonna get to you whenever," he said.
