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 112: With two out and Kris Bryant on second in the bottom of the second, Anthony Rizzo hits a sharp grounder to the right side that Gregorio Petit can't corral in short right field, allowing Bryant to score and giving the Cubs a 1-0 lead. WPA impact: +.114.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Jason Hammel (.409 / .424). By Game Score standards, Wednesday's outing was the best of the season for Hammel; he posted a score of 76 in this game, beating his previous high this season of 71 set twice on April 24 and June 4.
- Hero - Carl Edwards Jr. (.257). Nobody out, top of the eighth, inherits runners on second and third and tasked with holding a two-run lead with Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, and Andrelton Simmons due up. Strikeout, groundout with a small assist from the pitcher's mound, groundout. Just how he drew it up.
- Sidekick - Dexter Fowler (.112). Helped the Cubs extend the lead to 2-0 with his run-scoring double in the fifth.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Travis Wood (-.191). Some nights you only get one opportunity and miss.
- Goat - Pedro Strop (-.066). I'm guessing that there are a whole lot of fans right now -- myself included -- collectively holding their breath and waiting to hear the results from the MRI today.
- Kid - Javier Baez (-.055). His biggest chance came in the sixth after the second-base umpire extended the inning, but struck out to end the threat. He does get another withdrawal from the bank of style points for a nice stop on a sharp grounder.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 112: Hammel makes his first appearance in the plus-20 club this season, becoming the fourth member of the starting rotation to do so.
