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 Ramirez Catalyst of Game 111: With the Cubs down 1-0 heading into the bottom of the third, Willson Contreras launches an 86-mile-per-hour fastball deep into the left-center field bleachers to tie the game at 1-1. WPA impact: +.126.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - John Lackey (.223 / .183). Posted his second-highest Game Score of the season at 77; he's had three other games this season that registered a 79.
- Hero - Willson Contreras (.108). The homer in the third was all that he needed to hold off all other contenders, including...
- Sidekick - Ben Zobrist (.092). ...who gave the Cubs the lead with his double in the fourth.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.053). This is the first time in quite some time -- possibly ever in the history of this feature -- that I can remember a Goat podium appearance being caused in small part by a fan interference call. Does that mean that the fan owes Fowler a fruit basket? Or an "I'm Sorry" card? I'll have to check the rules on that one...
- Goat - Jason Heyward (-.051). Two chances with runners on the corners and couldn't make a dent. He did have the nice "Oh, you don't have it, I'll go get it" diving catch in the eighth, though.
- Kid - Addison Russell (-.006). The only Cub remaining on the negative side of the WPA fence with Lackey's hitting lumped into his slash line. And he also gets style points for his amazing diving stop of a grounder in the fifth that almost got Ji-Man Choi at first.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 111: Lackey nudges his way further into positive territory while Heyward sinks to a new season low.
