If you would have asked be before the Pirates series started last week if the Cubs would win five games in a row against them and the Cardinals, I would have said no probably 10 times out of 10.
But man, it feels good.

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 - Pedro Strop (.289). With a major assist to Addison Russell for his spectacular diving play to end the game.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.214). Just one more homer to break the 54-year-old mark set by Billy Williams for most homers as a Cub rookie.
- Sidekick - Trevor Cahill (.192). Did everything you could ask for in a bullpen day.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Zac Rosscup (-.262). How not to follow up a day allowing two walks in three batters: Allowing two singles and a homer in three batters.
- Goat - Austin Jackson (-.065). The lone 0-for-5 outing on the day for the Cubs...
- Kid - Javier Baez (-.059). ...and the lone 0-for-4 outing on the day for the Cubs.
