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 - Jon Lester (.220). Fun Fact: With his Game Score of 72 on Sunday, it's the first time in his career that he's had three consecutive starts with a Game Score of 72 or better.
- Hero - David Ross (.195). The hits don't always have to go far; they just have to find the right holes.
- Sidekick - Anthony Rizzo (.146). Claims the final spot by leading off the scoring in the first with his double down the right field line.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Chris Coghlan (-.047). Just like in Saturday's game, the culprit for both Coghlan and the next guy down...
- Goat - Ben Zobrist (-.034). ...was a missed opportunity with runners on second and third as both of them struck out in the first.
- Kid - Dexter Fowler (-.015). His single in the third had him in positive territory for a bit, but then his strikeout to end the fourth ended up being his downfall.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 61: The starting pitching continues their domination of the charts as they have now racked up 28 Superheroes in the first 61 games.
