VIDEO: Jason Heyward Responds to Christian Yelich's Blast With Leadoff Homer for Cubs
By Thomas Carannante
Hey Cubs fans, do you love Jason Heyward yet? After a few trying years to kickstart his tenure in Chicago, the Gold Glove outfielder has finally found his bat in 2019, and it's now the second time in three days he's led off the game with a home run. This one tied it at 1-1 after Christian Yelich homered off Yu Darvish in the top of the first.

That's the sweet swing we all remember from his early years with the Atlanta Braves.
If Heyward can get the Cubs' offense going from the leadoff spot, Chicago could run away with the NL Central when all the chips are down.
