But to be completely honest, had Pedro Strop only allowed the homer and not the baserunners afterward, it would have been someone else at the top of the Goat podium on Friday night.
So who gets the Marmol of the Game? You make the call.

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 (.303). Can't really ask for much more than what Jake gave the Cubs on Friday night.
- Hero - Hector Rondon (.125). Pitched a perfect ninth to sandwich the inning between two Goats. (I know; spoiler alert!)
- Sidekick - Mike Baxter (.086). Got the game-tying run with one of his three hits in the game. That throw in the 10th, however...
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Pedro Strop (-.386). Of all of the people... Greg Garcia?? Really??
- Goat - Justin Grimm (-.375). The ball that hit second base in the 10th might have missed it had Grimm not deflected it ever so slightly.
- Kid - Jonathan Herrera (-.107). No magic in the hat of Mr. Rally Bucket on Friday night as he whiffed with two on to end the 10th.
Arrieta pushes to a double-digit plus figure for the first time this season and closes in on second place on the chart in the process.
