The Story
The Philadelphia Phillies handed the San Francisco Giants a decisive 6-1 defeat at Oracle Park on May 29, 2024, building their advantage steadily across nine innings behind dominant pitching and timely hitting. The DiamondIQ model had entered the game assigning the Giants a 36% chance of winning at home, a figure that eroded inning by inning before closing at 0% as Philadelphia collected 14 hits to San Francisco's 6.
The game's most consequential swing came in the top of the fifth, when Nick Castellanos connected on a home run off Kyle Harrison that shifted win probability by plus 10.8 points in Philadelphia's favor, the single largest play of the contest. Alec Bohm had added to that same inning's damage with a double off Harrison worth plus 5.3 points. On the San Francisco side, the model's biggest negative swings came from a Wilmer Flores strikeout against Cristopher Sánchez in the third, costing the Giants 8.7 points of win probability, and a Tyler Fitzgerald ground into a double play off Gregory Soto in the seventh that erased another 7.2 points, snuffing out any meaningful rally attempts. Philadelphia added two more runs in the eighth before San Francisco plated its lone run in the ninth to avoid a shutout.
Castellanos finished as the top batter by WPA at plus 14.1 with a RE24 of plus 1.4, while Cristian Pache contributed plus 5.8 WPA and Heliot Ramos added plus 5.1 WPA alongside a RE24 of plus 1.3. On the mound, Cristopher Sánchez was the clear standout, posting a remarkable plus 25.1 WPA as he stifled the Giants offense across his outing. Gregory Soto and Luke Jackson each contributed positive WPA in relief, completing a thoroughly controlled performance by the Philadelphia pitching staff.
