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 (.343). Fun Fact #2: With his Game Score of 83 in Monday night's outing, it's the first time in Lester's career that he's had back-to-back games with a Game Score above 80.
- Hero - Jason Heyward (.152). Congratulations on homer number 100, Jason! May you have many more in a Cub uniform over the years.
- Sidekick - Kris Bryant (.094). Even without the fan interference on his ground-rule double in the first, it probably wouldn't have been enough to move him into second place on the night. But a 3-for-5 night with two doubles is still plenty good.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Javier Baez (-.107). He did launch a bat past third base, so there's that.
- Goat - Addison Russell (-.101). That's now nine podium appearances in the last 15 games, all on the Goats.
- Kid - David Ross (-.051). A pretty uneventful 0-for-4 evening.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 56: Lester pulls into a tie at the top of the charts while Russell finds himself now just two points away from the cellar.
