Here's a hint: Kyle Schwarber, with his three-run homer, didn't even make it onto the podium. He ended up .010 behind the leader, with the top three spots separated by a total of .005. Talk about razor-thin margins.

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 - Jorge Soler (.151). Wins the race for the top step by a nose. And man, was it nice to see him come through with runners in scoring position.
- Hero / Sidekick (tie) #1 - Justin Grimm (.146). If I could give him bonus points for winning the 10-pitch battle with Nori Aoki to end the fifth, I would.
- Hero / Sidekick (tie) #2 - Hector Rondon (.146). An even more impressive save given that he had to go through Brandon Crawford and Buster Posey to get it.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Tommy Hunter (-.129). The two-run homer he gave up to Brandon Crawford made it a bit too close for comfort.
- Goat - Starlin Castro (-.086). So. Many. Missed. Opportunities.
- Kid - Dexter Fowler (-.057). Jason Hammel was standing here until Fowler's strikeout against Sergio Romo in the eighth.
