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 - Kyle Hendricks (.333). Talk about a much-needed bounceback to end what had been a rough June.
- Hero - Matt Szczur (.199). Obviously the double to drive in the game's only run is what got him here.
- Sidekick - Jason Motte (.162). Put an exclamation point on three perfect innings from the bullpen.
THE THREE GOATS:
For the first time in 20 games there was a bump on the Goat podium as Hendricks' -.115 hitting was moved out. It's the 15th time this season that there has been a Goat podium bump compared to one bump on the Hero podium.
- Billy Goat - Chris Denorfia (-.149). Had a golden opportunity in the third with the bases loaded, but popped out to shallow center to end the inning.
- Goat - Addison Russell (-.071). He's now taken the second stair on the Goat podium in four of the last five games.
- Kid - Anthony Rizzo (-.066). A pretty uneventful 0-for-4 night.
Lots of movement in the middle on Tuesday night as three of the six podium winners move within two points above or below the zero mark on the plus/minus chart.
