The Story
The Colorado Rockies took down the Boston Red Sox 4-3 in ten innings at Fenway Park on June 12, 2023, erasing a 62 percent pre-game home win probability that the DiamondIQ model had assigned to Boston before first pitch. The game was locked in a tense, low-scoring affair through nine innings before the Rockies broke it open in the tenth, with Colorado pushing across two runs and holding off a Boston rally to secure the road victory. Both clubs were held scoreless through the first three frames, with the Rockies striking first in the fourth before Boston answered in the sixth and seventh to briefly hold the lead heading into the late innings.
The decisive sequence came in the top of the tenth, where two plays combined to swing the game decisively toward Colorado. Randal Grichuk drew a walk off Nick Pivetta that added 29.4 percent to Colorado's win probability, and a fielding error allowed Nolan Jones to reach base on a throw off Joe Jacques, adding another 18.2 percent swing. Those two plays accounted for the bulk of Colorado's two-run advantage entering the bottom of the frame. Boston mounted a response when Masataka Yoshida singled off Matt Carasiti to bring in a run, a hit worth plus 24.5 percent in Boston's direction, but it proved to be too little. The Red Sox had their clearest missed opportunity in the bottom of the ninth, when Triston Casas grounded into a double play off Daniel Bard, a swing of negative 17.5 percent for Boston's chances.
Grichuk led all position players with a WPA of plus 44.5 percent and an RE24 of plus 1.9, making him the single most impactful offensive contributor in the game by the DiamondIQ model's estimate. Yoshida was the top Red Sox performer at plus 24.5 percent WPA and plus 1.3 RE24, while Christian Arroyo's seventh-inning home run off Brent Suter generated plus 20.7 percent WPA and briefly gave Boston life. On the mound, Connor Seabold led all pitchers with plus 21.2 percent WPA, followed by Kenley Jansen at plus 13.5 percent. Colorado's errors column stayed clean at zero while Boston committed two, a factor that quietly shaped the final margin in a one-run game decided in extra innings.
