Ah, such sweet swings.
We like to homer. We like, we like to homer.

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 - Jason Hammel (.253). The first four innings were what set him ahead of the hitters in this game; the WPA gods like seeing a starter keep a game scoreless when the offense also hasn't put any runs up yet.
- Hero - Addison Russell (.169). He's the Jekyll and Hyde of the plus / minus chart right now. Nobody has more podium points than he does; he's currently sitting on 44. And his net score? Of course, zero.
- Sidekick - Jorge Soler (.084). Is this the beginning of the comeback? Stay tuned!
THE THREE GOATS: The Goats get another bump as Hammel's -.034 hitting is moved out. That's the 16th bump of the season and the 12th from the Goats. It's also the fourth as a result of Hammel.
- Billy Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.069). Wasn't able to muster up a hit until the score was well one-sided.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.040). Pretty much the same story except that he only had two hitless plate appearances while the game was close as opposed to Fowler's three.
- Kid - Clayton Richard (-.008). Once again faces one batter and ends up on the final step for it. At least he threw four pitches this time compared to his one-pitch performance on May 10.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 34: Hammel and Rizzo switch places on the chart, with Hammel moving up to third and Rizzo sliding back to fourth.
