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 - Jason Hammel (.067). Definitely a tough break when you only allow four hits over seven innings and take the loss. It's a shame that two of those four hits were solo shots.
- Hero - Chris Coghlan (.050). Was well in line for a Goat spot until his single to lead off the ninth.
- Sidekick - Travis Wood (.045). Escaped a couple of tough jams in the eighth, one of which wasn't even his doing.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Addison Russell (-.140). The final at-bat was going to make or break him on the podiums. Unfortunately he came up on the wrong end in this one.
- Goat - Chris Denorfia (-.126). The strikeout looking to end the eighth did him in.
- Kid - Jonathan Herrera (-.121). His sacrifice attempt in the ninth looked good, but a gutsy play by A.J. Ramos landed Herrera the final spot.
Hammel moves back into fourth on the plus/minus chart but still finds himself a good distance behind the top three in front of him.
