Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks: Final Score & Recap

The Arizona Diamondbacks shut out the Colorado Rockies 6-0 on May 31, 2023, at Chase Field, with the DiamondIQ model's estimate moving from a 70% pre-game home win probability to a final certainty of 100%. Arizona did the bulk of its damage early, plating three runs in the first inning and two more in the second to effectively settle the outcome before Colorado had any real opportunity to respond. The Rockies finished with just three hits and committed two errors, while Arizona collected ten hits across the contest.

The swing plays of the game centered heavily on the first three innings. The single most damaging moment for Colorado came in the top of the third, when Austin Wynns grounded into a double play off Tommy Henry, a sequence that carried a win-probability swing of minus-7.3% from the Rockies' perspective and extinguished any hope of a rally. On the Arizona side, Christian Walker's strikeout in the bottom of the second off Dinelson Lamet added 4.8% to the Diamondbacks' win probability under the DiamondIQ model's estimate, and Pavin Smith followed with a double off Lamet that contributed an additional 4.3%, compounding Colorado's early deficit.

Tommy Henry was the standout performer of the night, leading all pitchers with a WPA of plus-9.9%, suppressing the Rockies' lineup and rendering Colorado's offense nearly nonexistent. Among position players, Christian Walker led Arizona with a WPA of plus-7.0% and a RE24 of plus-0.6, while Pavin Smith was particularly effective with a WPA of plus-5.6% and a RE24 of plus-2.3, reflecting his direct run-production impact. Ryan McMahon finished as Colorado's top batter by WPA at plus-4.9%, though his RE24 of minus-0.2 underscored how little the Rockies were able to convert into any meaningful offensive output.
