Not one, not two... but three jumping Cubs! I wonder who their choreographer is.

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 (.261). His seventh start this year with a Game Score of 75 or better.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.147). Now that's how you get a table-setting podium spot.
- Sidekick - Starlin Castro (.098). And he took good advantage of it.
THE THREE GOATS: For the third time in four games, there's a bump on the podium as Arrieta's -.049 hitting is moved out. It's a good thing that pitcher's hitting isn't counted; Arrieta's hitting is currently worth minus-15 this season.
- Billy Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.060). The only oh-fer among the starters.
- Goat - Addison Russell (-.011). All it took was one bases-loaded whiff when the Cubs were already up four. And if you think that's bad...
- Kid - Chris Denorfia (-.002). The dude goes 3-for-6 (!) and ends up a Goat. And part of the reason for it is the guy above him getting thrown out at the plate on a great play by Andrew McCutchen. (We still love you, Addison.) Life sometimes just isn't all that fair.
