THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Nate Schierholtz (.323). What a difference a walk-off winner makes; the game-ending single was worth .397 all by itself.
- Hero - Chris Coghlan (.259). His first home run since May 28 of last year.
- Sidekick - Hector Rondon (.134). The double-play ball in the ninth was pretty huge.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Big Goat - Junior Lake (-.122). Just throw him low-and-away junk and watch him flail madly.
- Goat / Kid tie - Starlin Castro and Luis Valbuena (-.093). Valbuena makes the podium on the whiff in the ninth before Schierholtz won it. As for Castro, he's now hitting .146 since May 20.

Schierholtz escapes from the plus/minus basement with his heroics, while Lake sinks deeper into negative territory.
