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 - Addison Russell (.316). He gets the Golden Table-Setter award for his night on Tuesday, pulling off a pretty uncommon feat; the last Cub to record a WPA of .300 or better without driving in a run was Miguel Montero on May 15, 2015.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.112). Table-setters, unite! While he did have the early sacrifice fly, it was his single in the sixth and walk in the eighth that got him to the second step.
- Sidekick - Gerardo Concepcion (.077). So that's what it looks like when a lefty comes in and gets the first guy out! Oh, and welcome to the bigs, Gerardo... it was a very nice debut.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Albert Almora Jr. (-.324). Lots of missed chances on Tuesday night for Almora with his strikeout on a nasty bender from Trevor Rosenthal putting the final stamp on his top podium spot. But he does get a nice withdrawal from the bank of style points for his diving catch in the third.
- Goat - Ben Zobrist (-.263). It wasn't much better for Zobrist, who hit into a late fielder's choice and double play of his own.
- Kid - Jason Hammel (-.178). His worst outing of the season by Game Score standards at 43. On the positive side, he's only had three starts this year with a Game Score under 50.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 69: Rizzo makes another move toward third place on the chart as he crosses back into double-digit positives for the first time in 33 games.
