The Story
The Los Angeles Dodgers shut out the Colorado Rockies 5-0 at Coors Field on June 27, 2023, holding Colorado scoreless across nine innings while the DiamondIQ model's estimate of a home win fell from 36% before the first pitch to 0% by the final out. Los Angeles scored all five of its runs in the second, third, and sixth innings, collecting eight hits against a Rockies staff that allowed no shortage of damage.
J.D. Martinez was the decisive force at the plate, accounting for a combined +18.3% in win probability added to lead all batters. His third-inning home run off Connor Seabold carried the single largest win-probability swing of the night at +15.9%, effectively turning a close contest into a comfortable Dodgers lead. He added a second home run in the sixth against Brad Hand for another +4.1% shift. David Peralta contributed as well, ripping a double off Seabold in the second inning that moved the needle +4.0%. On Colorado's side, C.J. Cron's fifth-inning groundout into a double play off Clayton Kershaw represented the sharpest negative swing for the Rockies at -7.3%, snuffing out what had been a modest scoring opportunity.
Clayton Kershaw anchored the pitching performance with a game-high +17.7% win probability added among pitchers, systematically keeping Colorado's three-hit offense off the board. Brusdar Graterol and Evan Phillips followed with contributions of +1.7% and +1.4% respectively as the Dodgers completed the shutout without a fielding error. The DiamondIQ model favored Los Angeles coming in, and the game played out in precise alignment with that lean from the second inning onward.
