Luis Robert Jr. had given Chicago a temporary lift with a home run off Logan Gilbert in the top of the sixth that carried a win-probability swing of plus 24.8 percent, and the White Sox added a run in the seventh and another in the eighth to pull within striking distance at 4-4. But Seattle's response in the bottom of the eighth was decisive. Luke Raley's single off Michael Kopech produced the single largest win-probability swing of the game at plus 29.6 percent, and Mitch Haniger followed with a single off Kopech that added another plus 18.0 percent to Seattle's ledger.
