The Hickman voting for this game should be quite interesting, I'd say. There's a good case to be made for the top two guys on Tuesday's podium.

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 - Anthony Rizzo (.199). So, should the Hickman go to the 2-for-4 night with three driven in, including the first two runs of the game and a big insurance run later...
- Hero - Starlin Castro (.161). ...or should it go to the 2-for-4 night with four driven in, three of which gave the Cubs a comfortable 6-0 lead and the fourth providing another big insurance run later?
- Sidekick - Jason Hammel (.101). He was having one heck of a night until the wheels started to come loose in the seventh.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Pedro Strop (-.035). Finally got the final out of the seventh inning but not before causing several heart palpitations, a multitude of profanities, and probably a number of broken beer glasses.
- Goat - Chris Coghlan (-.031). By the time his second plate appearance rolled around, his fate was already sealed.
- Kid - Justin Grimm (-.022). His outing started well enough with a strikeout of Greg Garcia, and then that's when the carnival music really started to pick up in volume.
