THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Travis Wood. Excellent rebound after two subpar starts in a row.
- Hero - Welington Castillo. Back-to-back appearances here for Beef, thanks to the two-run homer in the second.
- Sidekick - Luis Valbuena. The insurance-run double plus the walk ahead of Castillo's bomb bring him third place honors.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Big Goat - Emilio Bonifacio. Primarily a result of his first two at-bats, which included the lineout to end the second that stranded Ryan Kalish.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo. Second day in a row in the second place position, thanks to the 0-for-3 outing.
- Kid - Travis Wood. Hey, if you have a bat, you can qualify twice as a pitcher. Sometimes you end up a hero as a result of it; some days you go 0-for-3 and whiff twice.
