Was I the only one who felt like the final inning and a half was a battle of mound celebrations? From the somewhat understated Jumbo Diaz to the "Hey, I just threw it 100" Hector Rondon to the "I may or may not be looking at you, Brandon Phillips" Pedro Strop... there may have been just a bit of adrenaline out there. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I actually thought it was kind of awesome.

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 - Kyle Schwarber (.591). Absolutely massacred that changeup from Burke Badenhop. I mean, that ball was tattooed.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.272). An excellent 3-for-4 day that came just short of being 4-for-4 when he sent one to the track in left.
- Sidekick - Miguel Montero (.190). Had the big single in the sixth to tie the game.
THE THREE GOATS: A very tight race at the top, and it probably would go the other way if this were a Marmol vote.
- Billy Goat - Clayton Richard (-.168). Faced two batters and gave up two doubles, although one of them was almost caught by Schwarber on a diving play.
- Goat - Fernando Rodney (-.167). My first thought on the homer he gave up to Eugenio Suarez: "Too high." And just like the scene from Major League, it was followed by "Who gives a ****, it's gone."
- Kid - Anthony Rizzo (-.137). Just how many bats did he want to break over his knee in this game after getting jammed into popups? My count was at least two.
