Spoiler Alert: A shout-out goes out to Starlin Castro for his 4-for-5 night... which unfortunately didn't get him to the Hero podium because his first at-bat was a groundout and his last two hits came when the score was 5-1 or more. Regardless, a 4-for-5 night is still awesome and is always worthy of recognition.

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 - Austin Jackson (.302). Congratulations to him on the first game in his career in which he drove in five runs. His previous best was four which he had done five times, most recently on July 7 when he was still with the Mariners.
- Hero - Jon Lester (.170). All that pitching, and he got on base! Twice!
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.089). His run-scoring single in the second got him the final spot; everything else was just gravy after that.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jorge Soler (-.098). Once again, the double play claims another Billy Goat.
- Goat - Kris Bryant (-.056). Lots of hard-hit balls (and one sawed-off bat), but none of them found a gap.
- Kid - David Ross (-.054). But hey, he singled in the ninth! Sure, it was 10-1 at that point, but it counts for something, right? (WPA for single: .000. Guess not.)
