By Adam Weinrib

That shot is Heyward's seventh of the season, and though he's hitting just .239, the pop has returned, justifying his contract a bit further, when coupled with his defensive acumen.
Of course, since this is Wrigley on a hot day, you can always use more insurance. Let's see what else the Cubbies can come up with.
