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 - Willson Contreras (.700). It's been over 16 years since the last time that a Cub hitter posted a WPA above .690 in a Cubs' loss. You have to go all the way back to Henry Rodriguez on May 14, 2000 to find the last occurrence. You might want to avert your eyes if you look at that box score.
- Hero - Jason Heyward (.173). Believe it or not... Jason Heyward has finally climbed out of the cellar, all thanks to his single in the 11th.
- Sidekick - Kris Bryant (.117). Another rare feat here, as Bryant becomes only the third Cub since 1913 to post a WPA above .100 as a result of a walk and being hit twice. He's also only the second Cub to do it in four plate appearances, along with Xavier Nady on April 9, 2010. Anthony Rizzo also pulled off the feat on April 2, 2014, but it took him eight plate appearances to do it. And to top it all off, Bryant is the only Cub to do it without recording a hit in the game.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Addison Russell (-.371). His run of 32 games without a Billy Goat comes to an end, courtesy of the dreaded 6-4-3.
- Goat - Jeimer Candelario (-.249). The weak flyout to end the game played a large role in getting him here, but his first two plate appearances didn't help matters either.
- Kid - Hector Rondon (-.213). It's been over a year -- May 22, 2015, to be exact -- since he blew a save by giving up a game-tying homer.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 85: Contreras climbs back to the positive side of the fence while Heyward's departure from the cellar leaves the ailing Dexter Fowler at the bottom of the list.
