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 - Matt Szczur (.049). His second Superhero award of the season; the first one came 44 games ago against the Reds.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.024). I'm beginning to think that he's never going to leave the podium. Someone's going to need to rename this as the Rizzo Step.
- Sidekick - Starlin Castro (.017). He hit that triple a long way in the sixth.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jon Lester (-.291). Maybe someone should have told him that it was still May.
- Goat / Kid tie - Dexter Fowler and David Ross (-.070). Between them they were a combined 0-for-8. But there was a walk from Ross, so it wasn't a complete washout.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 51 ("x" indicates player not on active roster):
Rizzo just keeps piling on to his lead at the top, with the rest of the pack other than Kris Bryant no longer in the same time zone on the plus/minus chart.
