Fun fact: The walkoff win on Sunday afternoon was the Cubs' sixth this season, which is the most of any team in the league. They had previously been tied with the St. Louis Cardinals at five.

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 - Tsuyoshi Wada (.300). It may have been a shorter outing than one would have hoped for, but it was an extremely effective one.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.210). Look at the wheels on that guy!
- Sidekick - Chris Coghlan (.198). Talk about a resurrection: Just 11 games ago, he was way at the bottom of the plus/minus chart at minus-19.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jorge Soler (-.247). It's that cold weather, man.
- Goat - Travis Wood (-.211). That's what you call an ineffective outing.
- Kid - Addison Russell (-.116). Almost had a cycle of groundouts with a grounder to second, third, and short.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 48 ("x" indicates player not on active roster):
Rizzo extends his double-digit lead on the plus/minus chart, while a four-way logjam at the basement door has formed with Soler falling back toward the bottom.
