The Story
The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Francisco Giants 8-5 at Chase Field on June 4, 2024, handing the visiting Giants a loss that was never truly in doubt after the middle innings. The DiamondIQ model opened the game with a 55 percent home win probability for Arizona, and that figure climbed steadily toward its final reading of 100 percent as the D-backs built their lead in layers across the third, fourth, and seventh innings.
The decisive stretch began in the bottom of the third, where Blaze Alexander delivered a double off Giants starter Kyle Harrison that swung win probability 10.1 points in Arizona's favor, the single largest swing of the game. Ketel Marte followed with a single that added another 8.5 points, and the damage from Harrison continued into the fourth when Alexander singled again for a 7.8-point swing. The Giants mounted a brief threat in the top of the seventh, but Matt Chapman's strikeout against Justin Martinez deflated the rally at a cost of 7.2 points of win probability, effectively closing the door on any San Francisco comeback. Gabriel Moreno then extended the Arizona lead with a single off Luke Jackson in the bottom half that added 6.8 points, pushing the D-backs' cushion to a comfortable margin.
Alexander finished as the game's most impactful offensive player, accumulating a WPA of plus-19.6 and an RE24 of plus-2.1, while Marte added plus-9.9 WPA and plus-1.8 RE24 to anchor the middle of the Arizona lineup. On the pitching side, Martinez led the bullpen with plus-7.2 WPA, followed by Kevin Ginkel at plus-5.0 and Joe Mantiply at plus-3.0. San Francisco managed six hits and committed one error, but the 13-hit Arizona attack proved too balanced and too consistent to overcome.
