An interesting side note about tonight's Hero podium: The group of three Cubs that are on the podium for this game pulled off a feat that has only been seen one other time in Cubs' recorded WPA history, and that feat last occurred on August 11, 1959.
As for the notable quote of the game:
Maddon: "Look at how they played tonight. It must have been the onesies." #Cubs

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 130: With one out in the bottom of the ninth, Jorge Soler sends a Tony Watson fastball to the opposite field seats in right-center, tying the game at 6-6. WPA impact: +.470.
THE THREE HEROES: The feat that took 57 years to duplicate, you ask? It's been that long since the Cubs had three players with a WPA above .450 in a single game. They've never had three players with a WPA above .470 in a single game prior to this one.
- Superhero - Jorge Soler (.560). Obviously his homer in the ninth got him here, but he almost had another homer in the third that just missed leaving the yard. Overall a great night for him, going 3-for-5 before leaving the game as part of a double-switch in the 10th.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.474). What a tear he's been on: This podium appearance makes six Heroes in six games, with one top spot and five second-place spots. That's how you go from minus-10 to plus-3 in a hurry. And the plus-3 also happens to be his high-water mark for the season.
- Sidekick - Javier Baez (.470). This is the platinum-standard of table-setting right here; there have only been three players this season (Baez, Lonnie Chisenhall, and Odubel Herrera) and only 10 since 2000 that have had a game with at least four hits, no runs driven in, and a WPA better than .450.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Addison Russell (-.400). If only that fly ball in the 12th had gone just a little bit further.
- Goat - Rob Zastryzny (-.310). For having the bases loaded with nobody out -- including an infield single that deflected off of his glove -- it's quite fortunate that he walked away with only one run allowed.
- Kid - Jake Arrieta (-.266 / -.298). Got through the first four innings without much trouble, but from the fifth inning on it was a different story.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 130: The plus-30 club drops back down to two members as Arrieta finds his way back just to the other side of the velvet rope at the door.
