I wasn't sure if the Cubs had ever scored seven runs off of Yovani Gallardo before, and it turns out that they have. Back on September 15, 2009. Some fun names in that box score.

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 (.161). I'm re-using the line for Jacob Turner from Monday's game, because I'm unoriginal like that: Really nice bounceback outing after his last start in Cincinnati.
- Hero - Welington Castillo (.107). Someone needs to make sure he sends Elian Herrera a fruit basket.
- Sidekick - Luis Valbuena (.094). Would have placed higher if not for the whiff in the second with runners on the corners.
THE THREE GOATS: Also known as the hard-luck or bad-beat club on Tuesday night.
- Billy Goat - Chris Coghlan (-.025). Whiffs to lead off the game and ends up the Billy Goat for it.
- Goat - Chris Valaika (-.024). Well, not really hard luck for him. His single in the eighth didn't even deflect the needle. But then there's...
- Kid - Matt Szczur (-.001). I feel your pain, man. A pinch-hit groundout in the sixth and it ends up podium-worthy. That's like getting dealt pocket aces and losing to a flush on the river.
UPDATED RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 139 (Changes in Bold, Notations Below):
x - Player not on active roster.
y - Player not on 40-man roster.
z - Player no longer with Cubs.

Arrieta nudges right up behind Starlin Castro on the plus/minus chart, and Castillo continues his rebound from negative territory.
