Getting four baserunners off of Tony Watson and Mark Melancon in the same game is quite the accomplishment. Unfortunately, it only led to one run.

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 - Starlin Castro (.107). Third Superhero award in the last six games.
- Hero - Darwin Barney (.062). The enigma continues.
- Sidekick - Jason Hammel (.059). A game straight from the Jeff Samardzija school of tough breaks.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Luis Valbuena (-.228). Another 0-for-4 day, and the whiff in the ninth was the cherry on top.
- Goat - Welington Castillo (-.139). The first pinch-hitter to whiff in the eighth with runners on second and third, followed by...
- Kid - Justin Ruggiano (-.123). The second pinch-hitter to whiff in the eighth with runners on second and third.
