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 - Dexter Fowler (.233). Broke the deadlock with his two-run bomb in the fifth.
- Hero - Jon Lester (.129). His last five podium appearances have all been on the Hero side.
- Sidekick - Kyle Schwarber (.102). The two homers were definitely impressive; the score of the game when he hit them is what kept him on the final stair.
THE THREE GOATS: There was only one pitcher hitting bump in the last four games, and it occurred in this one as Lester's -.066 hitting was moved out, moving everyone up a step on the podium. It's the first three-way bump on the Goat podium in 23 games.
- Billy Goat - David Ross (-.062). Silver lining: His on-base percentage is still .291? It's a stretch, I know.
- Goat - Chris Coghlan (-.045). A somewhat uneventful 0-for-3.
- Kid - Addison Russell (-.010). Saved from a worse podium fate by his walk in the fifth.
