Not-so-fun fact: Since Kyle Hendricks' last two outings in May where he pitched a complete game and then a seven-inning game, four of his five starts since then have only been five innings each. The other start was six innings at the beginning of June.

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 - Addison Russell (.072). Billy Goat one day, Superhero the next thanks to his double to score the first run of the game for the Cubs.
- Hero - Justin Grimm (.033). His longest outing of the season and the longest since he pitched just over three innings on August 23, 2014.
- Sidekick (tie) - James Russell and Mike Baxter (.031). It's Baxter's first Hero podium as a Cub, even if he's sharing the bottom step with Russell who pitched a perfect sixth.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Kyle Hendricks (-.239). The month of June has not been kind to him (1-3, 5.88 ERA, 1.385 WHIP in five starts).
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.115). The good news is that his double play in the fifth scored a run. The bad news is that it earned him the second stair.
- Kid - Miguel Montero (-.104). Not enough distance on his fly ball to left to end the seventh with two men on.
Addison Russell moves into a tie for fifth on the plus/minus chart, while Hendricks falls into perilous territory near the bottom of the chart.
