There were still some smiles to be found on Tuesday, though.

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 Gonzalez Mishap of Game 99: With one out and two on in the bottom of the first, Jose Abreu rips a single back up the middle -- just missing Kyle Hendricks in the process -- to score Adam Eaton and give the White Sox an early 1-0 lead. WPA impact: -.119.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Tommy La Stella (.029). How you know for sure that it wasn't a good day offensively, Exhibit Number 1: The Superhero gets his title as a result of a catcher's interference play (your Edible Arrangement is on its way, Dioner Navarro) and a bloop single to left.
- Hero - Kyle Hendricks (.018). How you know for sure that it wasn't a good day offensively, Exhibit Number 2: The starting pitcher that gave up three runs in just over five innings takes the second step of the podium. The Hero podium, that is.
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.013). And then there's one of the guys who got on base twice by normal means but still only ended up third due to a pair of outs with a runner on first.
THE THREE GOATS: Also known on Tuesday night as the 0-for-4 Club:
- Billy Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.174). Two big missed opportunities, including an inning-ending foulout with the bases loaded in the second and the dreaded 6-4-3 in the seventh. But he didn't strike out, unlike...
- Goat - Javier Baez (-.126). ...who had two strikeouts on the night to go along with an inning-ending foulout of his own with two on, and...
- Kid - Kris Bryant (-.079). ...who whiffed three times. But hey, no inning-ending foulout!
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 99: Hendricks solidifies his position in fourth place while Fowler sinks to a new personal season low.
