He didn't make the list tonight, but special mention to Carlos Villanueva for three innings of work without anything blowing up.

THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Anthony Rizzo. That bomb into the sandbox was mighty impressive.
- Hero - Jake Arrieta. Thank you for staying in the game longer than five innings tonight.
- Sidekick - Junior Lake. Nice drag bunt to keep "the streak" alive, plus the double in the fifth to cap the scoring for the night.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Big Goat - Starlin Castro. His 0-for-10 slump has dropped his average from .301 to .284.
- Goat - Mike Olt. Your garden-variety 0-for-4.
- Kid - Jake Arrieta. On a night where everything else goes right, an 0-for-2 performance with a successful sacrifice bunt will land you in third place.

Lake and Arrieta make rare visits to the Hero section tonight, while Castro and Olt make much more common visits to the Goats.
