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 - Tommy La Stella (.167). It's his first Superhero of the season; the last time he saw the view from up here was September 20, 2015.
- Hero - Javier Baez (.144). Made the most of his one at-bat with a single to load the bases in the eighth.
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.067). And finally, the run of Goat podiums ends at nine as Russell finds his way back to the other side. Plus, he empties out all of the style points that were in the bank with his fantastic grab in the first.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jason Heyward (-.233). Oh, the dreaded bases-loaded 4-6-3.
- Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.166). As hard as it may be to believe, his sacrifice fly to cut the lead to one in the eighth was actually the play that hurt him the most on the evening. Of course, had he not driven in a run the results would have been significantly worse and would have made the podium chase a lot tighter.
- Kid - David Ross (-.160). Had a chance to be a hero in the ninth with runners on the corners, but it wasn't to be as he grounded out to end the game.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 57: La Stella nudges his way back into positive ground, while Heyward sinks backward into the cellar after almost finding his way back to the door.
