For those of you who aren't followers of Cub Tracks, I will be heading out for the next few days on a business trip to Scottsdale, Arizona to enjoy some balmy 105-degree weather and all kinds of business meetings. Heroes and Goats will be on break until Thursday, August 13, at which point there will be a recap of Games 110 through 112.

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 - Kris Bryant (.290). Majestic Bryant bombs are always so much fun.
- Hero - Travis Wood (.183). Another excellent relief appearance made even better by stranding two inherited runners.
- Sidekick - Miguel Montero (.172). Welcomed George Kontos to the game with a gapper single to give the Cubs the lead once again.
THE THREE GOATS: And there's another two-way bump as Kyle Hendricks' -.121 hitting is moved out. That makes 27 bumps on the season and 24 from the Goat podium.
- Billy Goat - Kyle Hendricks (-.182). He doesn't get a bump for his pitching, though. Granted, a large part of it was from a walk to Hunter Pence on a really rough ball four call in the second followed by a homer from Brandon Belt that landed in the basket, but regrettably it all counts the same.
- Goat - Kyle Schwarber (-.092). Smoked that ball in the second, but unfortunately right at Belt.
- Kid - Chris Coghlan (-.048). Primarily due to his inning-ending flyout in the fourth with two on.
