I guess it could have been worse... it could have been an outing like this one.

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 - Kris Bryant (.167). It's always good to have a 4-for-4 game. It's unfortunate that it came in a blowout loss.
- Hero - Chris Coghlan (.063). I wouldn't have thought that a run-scoring triple when the Cubs were down five would have counted for as much as it did. Apparently I thought incorrectly.
- Sidekick - Miguel Montero (.053). And then some days all it takes is a walk when you're down four.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jon Lester (-.385). I don't think anything really needs to be said here.
- Goat - Jorge Soler (-.192). Lots of chances with runners on and only capitalized once. And that was when the Cubs were down eight in the ninth.
- Kid - Addison Russell (-.111). That spike in the sixth on the chart above belongs to Russell for his double play. (The fifth and seventh-inning spikes belong to the guy one step up.)
