TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Jason Heyward homered for the second straight game and Anthony Rizzo also connected as the Chicago Cubs tied the Los Angeles Angels 8-8 at spring training on Monday.
Heyward’s three-run shot homer off Nick Tropeano cleared the bullpen in right field in the third inning.
Mike Trout and Albert Pujols hit back-to-back homers in the Angels’ five-run fourth against Kyle Hendricks. Pujols’ fifth of the spring cleared the hedge behind the left-field berm.
Heyward, who went deep in Sunday’s game in Mesa despite being hounded by a swarm of bees, was 1 for 3 on Monday.
The Cubs stopped a three-game losing streak while the Angels had their fifth tie of the Cactus League season.
