Writer's Note: The daily selections of the three Heroes and three Goats are based solely on the top three and bottom three WPA scores for the game. The selections are not based on my subjective opinion.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Willson Contreras (.012). With his basket shot in the seventh, he earns the unfortunate honor of being the Superhero with the lowest WPA of the season. But somebody had to do it, and you might as well do it with style.
- Hero - Chris Coghlan (.006). An 0-for-3 day with a double play and he takes the second step thanks to a fourth-inning leadoff walk.
- Sidekick - Spencer Patton (.005). A much better outing than his first trip to the big leagues.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Justin Grimm (-.171). It feels like the dreaded middle-reliever funk is setting in with the Reaper.
- Goat - Jason Heyward (-.109). And with Wednesday's game, the minus-30 club has its first member of the season.
- Kid - Ben Zobrist (-.072). Had the Cubs' only opportunity with a runner in scoring position while the game was still close... and grounded out to second.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 70: The top of the chart goes silent while Heyward once again slides further into the muck.
