Close race at the top of the chart, with the top three positions only separated by .025. That's not something you see too often in a victory.

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 (.176). Had to deal with a runner on base every inning except the first -- where he gave up the homer to Ryan Braun -- but got out of each situation quite well.
- Hero - Jorge Soler (.164). There's definitely a fruit basket heading to Elian Herrera for his errant throw in the sixth.
- Sidekick - Anthony Rizzo (.151). Or there's the more traditional way to make the chart: Just keep knocking the ball out of the park.
THE THREE GOATS: There was a single bump on the Goat podium Friday night as Hammel's -.088 hitting was moved out. It's the second time this season that Hammel has had a hitting bump, the lowest number of the Cubs' top four starters.
- Billy Goat - Kris Bryant (-.101). Had a big chance in the fifth with the bases loaded but came up short on a bang-bang fielder's choice.
- Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.098). The double in the ninth inning saved him from the top of the Goat podium.
- Kid - Kyle Schwarber (-.074). Nothing overly eventful in his 0-for-4 night.
