Call me a pessimist, but I wouldn't have guessed for that kind of performance from Clayton Richard by any stretch of the imagination. Of course I'll gladly take it, but you can put me in the "pleasantly shocked" camp.

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 - Clayton Richard (.206). Fun Fact: Seven of the last eight outs while he was on the mound were groundouts, including six in a row in the fifth and sixth innings.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.087). Even though it made the score 4-1, his run-scoring single in the fifth was what propelled him to the second spot.
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.069). Man, he hit that homer a mile.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.054). You know, you really don't have to give the points back just because you took so many in a row. It's okay to pile the points on.
- Goat - Jorge Soler (-.049). The story of Soler's season: the average isn't all that bad, but when chances come up with runners in scoring position it gets a whole lot worse.
- Kid - Dexter Fowler (-.006). Tough break at the final spot as everyone else seemed to make a positive contribution on Sunday.
