As Al said in his recap, some days it's a game of inches. Just a few more here and there and the chart today takes on a completely different look.

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 (.105). Drove in two of the Cubs' three runs and came just short of more on a ball that was snagged at the wall by Randal Grichuk.
- Hero - Jason Heyward (.059). Sometimes all you need to do to make the Hero podium is take a timely walk, which is exactly what he did in the eighth.
- Sidekick - Dexter Fowler (.048). He's still getting on base at a crazy .523 clip.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Kyle Hendricks (-.241). Four runs allowed in the first two innings proved to be too much to overcome.
- Goat - Kris Bryant (-.116). He did have the nifty play in left, but then there was also the 0-for-4 day at the plate.
- Kid - Miguel Montero (-.093). Also held hitless on the day but only had one opportunity with runners on base.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 15: Rizzo moves back into positive territory while Hendricks becomes the only member of the starting rotation to currently be in negative numbers.
