The Story
The Los Angeles Angels dismantled the Colorado Rockies 25-1 at Coors Field on June 24, 2023, in one of the most lopsided results of the season. The DiamondIQ model entered the game giving Colorado a 38% chance of winning and watched that figure collapse to 0% by the final out. The Angels scored in five of nine innings, with the third inning serving as the decisive blow, when Los Angeles plated 13 runs to effectively end any competitive tension the game still held.
The third inning was defined by a cascade of damaging plays against Rockies starter Chase Anderson. Mike Trout's home run carried the single largest win-probability swing of the game at plus-8.5%, followed by Brandon Drury's home run at plus-6.9% and Matt Thaiss's home run at plus-5.2%, all three coming off Anderson in that same frame. The Angels had already begun chipping away in the second, where Mickey Moniak's hit by pitch moved the needle plus-4.8%, while Elehuris Montero's strikeout off Griffin Canning in the bottom of the second represented Colorado's best chance to generate offense, registering a minus-4.9% swing that ultimately went unrealized.
By the DiamondIQ model's numbers, Brandon Drury was the game's top performer, finishing with a plus-9.2% WPA and plus-2.8 RE24, while Trout posted plus-8.6% WPA and plus-2.0 RE24. Mickey Moniak quietly put together the most run-environment impact of any Angel, contributing plus-5.5% WPA and a game-high plus-5.8 RE24. On the mound, Griffin Canning earned a plus-4.0% WPA for his work holding Colorado's offense in check, with Tucker Davidson and Karl Kauffmann each finishing at 0.0% WPA in their appearances. Los Angeles finished with 28 hits and committed no errors across nine innings.
