Fun Facts: Baseball Reference scored Arrieta's no-hitter with a WPA of .575 (there's always a difference between them and FanGraphs for reasons unknown), which is the highest WPA by a Cubs starter since Jeff Samardzija posted a .605 on July 23, 2012 against the Pirates. It's also only the second time that a Cubs' no-hitter scored a .575 WPA or higher, with the other one coming from Ken Holtzman on June 3, 1971.
The Heroes and Goats will be listed today without additional notes from me. Because there aren't any that are really needed. The Hickman polling is also officially closed today.

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 - Jake Arrieta (.556).
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.105).
- Sidekick - Chris Denorfia (.031).
THE THREE GOATS: Okay, I lied about the additional notes... there was another bump for Arrieta's hitting as his -.041 was moved out.
- Billy Goat - Addison Russell (-.072).
- Goat - Starlin Castro (-.054).
- Kid - Matt Szczur (-.035).
