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 158: With two on and nobody out in the bottom of the fourth, John Jaso mashes a Jake Arrieta curveball into the seats in right field for a three-run homer to put the Pirates ahead 4-1. WPA impact: -.162.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Anthony Rizzo (.095). It's been a very steady second half on the chart for Rizzo; if you look back 33 games ago he was sitting at plus-32.5. Since that point in time he's stayed within a six-point range, maxing out at plus-38.5 but basically holding his spot most of the time.
- Hero - Willson Contreras (.044). No doubt that there's a fruit basket on its way to David Freese for throwing a ball away on Contreras' grounder in the seventh to make things a little more interesting.
- Sidekick - Tommy La Stella (.039). Made his first plate appearance in the seventh and brought the Pirates' lead down to three with a two-run single to center.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jake Arrieta (-.351 / -.410). His Game Score of 21 in Wednesday's outing was his worst by a significant margin, beating his previous worst of 35 which happened on July 8, also against the Pirates. Wednesday's outing was also the first one in over two years that Arrieta allowed seven earned runs or more; you have to go back to August 6, 2014 against the Rockies to find the last one.
- Goat - Miguel Montero (-.053). Only had two chances at the plate in this game, one of which came with two runners on and ended in a forceout.
- Kid - Dexter Fowler (-.051). Maybe there's an anti-table-setter award to be had; he led off three innings in this game and made an out in each of them.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 158: After bouncing in and out of it several times, Arrieta ends up on the outside of the plus-30 club and most likely locked into fourth place on the chart.
