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 - Kris Bryant (.107). Tried to keep the game interesting with a homer to straightaway center field. But then the third inning happened.
- Hero - Trevor Cahill (.024). He's getting pretty good at this multiple-inning outing thing; five of his last seven outings have been two innings or more, and those are also the only five outings he's had this season of that length.
- Sidekick - Tommy La Stella (.017). How you know it's one of those days: A two-out pinch-hit walk gets you the final stair.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jon Lester (-.382). Not much to be said here; it was just a clunker.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.086). The only 0-for-5 performance of the day.
- Kid - Javier Baez (-.055). His flyout with two on in the third did most of the damage, and his run-scoring single in the eighth likely kept him from the second step on the platform.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 41: Bryant continues his climb back to even ground on the chart while Lester falls short in his attempt to regain first place.
