David Bote's birthday is today and he will celebrate by relaxing and getting the day off. Despite Heyward's hot-streak of 3 homers in the last 2 games, he is still in the lower pressure situations at the 8th spot in the lineup. Good move by Joe Maddon to keep him in the lineup. J-Hey was the first Cubs player since 1900 to record multiple homers and multiple steals in the same game.
