I'm just wondering how much longer it will be before someone markets the official Jonathan Herrera Rally Bucket. It has to happen sooner or later.

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 - Kris Bryant (.250). Had he not stretched that hit in the ninth into a double, he probably would have ended up on the second stair, with...
- Hero - Miguel Montero (.226). ...taking the first one after getting plunked in the ninth and brushing it off like it was nothing.
- Sidekick - Starlin Castro (.189). Sent everybody home happy with the game-winner.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - James Russell (-.357). Three batters, three hits, two runs, one Billy Goat.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.325). Believe it or not, his -.325 WPA in this game is the lowest single-game number of his entire career by a long shot. His previous low was -.231 on May 12, 2013.
- Kid - Chris Denorfia (-.085). Hit one hard in the seventh, but right at third base for an inning-ending double play.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 60 ("x" indicates player not on active roster):
There's still a lot of distance between first and second at the top of the chart, but the point differential falls below 20 for the first time in 10 games with Rizzo sliding back and Bryant moving forward.
