If my math is correct, Tuesday night's performance by Arrieta makes four straight starts for him with a game score above 70. Given that he had four such starts in all of 2012 and 2013, I'd say that's a big deal.

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 - Jake Arrieta (.289). It's safe to say that the month of June has been very good to him.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.184). The basket shot to right started off the offense once again.
- Sidekick - James Russell (.080). Winner of the eighth-inning Reliever-fest!
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Chris Coghlan (-.072). Leading off the last four games: 1-for-14. Overall batting first: 2-for-25. Um, I think someone else can lead off now.
- Goat - Wesley Wright (-.066). Loser of the eighth-inning Reliever-fest.
- Kid - Mike Olt (-.045). The word "toast" comes to mind.
