Meanwhile, it was a rare sighting at the top of the Hero podium on Tuesday night. A quite rare one.
Also, my apologies for missing the poll from Monday's game, although I'm guessing that Jason Hammel would have won in a landslide.

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 - Junior Lake (.178). It's been quite a while since we've seen Lake at the top of the Hero podium; in fact, his last appearance here was September 10, 2014 in somewhat unspectacular fashion.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.124). Meanwhile, Rizzo just keeps on racking up podium appearances. He hasn't moved from the second stair in three games.
- Sidekick - Dexter Fowler (.031). The only Cub remaining other than Edwin Jackson (!!) who was above zero for the night.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Kyle Hendricks (-.279). Almost got out of his jam in the fifth, but just couldn't get that third out before it unraveled.
- Goat - Kris Bryant (-.141). Gave one a ride to the opposite field in the third, but it came up short on the track.
- Kid - Chris Coghlan (-.075). Gets a hard-luck final podium spot as a result of Addison Russell being thrown out at second base in the ninth.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 50 ("x" indicates player not on active roster):
The lead at the top of the plus/minus chart balloons to 20 points with Rizzo and Bryant both moving in opposite directions on Tuesday night.
