I'm pretty sure that one of the biggest fruit baskets in Heroes and Goats history was involved in the second step of today's Hero podium. I'm having a hard time recalling a bigger one, although I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

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 - Miguel Montero (.204). Nice 2-for-4 day with his tie-breaking double in the sixth pushing him to the head of the pack.
- Hero - Chris Denorfia (.199). Looks up at the Superhero and down at the Sidekick and says "What are you guys looking at?" All while finding out what the biggest Edible Arrangement is that he can send to Pedro Ciriaco.
- Sidekick - Kris Bryant (.176). If you only get one hit in a game, make it a game-tying double.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Kyle Schwarber (-.296). Second day in a row at the top of the Goats courtesy of a huge 3-6-1 double play with the bases loaded.
- Goat - Kyle Hendricks (-.154). Seemed to be fighting out of trouble all game, but was able to get out of a lot of it with seven punchouts.
- Kid - Jonathan Herrera (-.105). If you only get one at-bat in a close game, don't make it a 6-3 double play.
