The Story
The Milwaukee Brewers shut out the Los Angeles Angels 2-0 at Angel Stadium on June 19, 2024, holding a lineup that entered with only a 34% chance of winning according to the DiamondIQ model's pre-game estimate down to zero by the final out. Milwaukee scored both of its runs in the first and eighth innings, getting just enough offense to support a pitching staff that was dominant from start to finish, limiting the Angels to four hits across nine innings.
The decisive moment came in the top of the eighth inning when Willy Adames singled off Luis García, a play that shifted win probability by 16.8 percentage points in Milwaukee's favor and proved to be the game's most impactful offensive moment. Adames finished as the game's top offensive performer with a combined WPA of plus 15.9 and a RE24 of plus 1.1, reflecting his central role in the Brewers' insurance run. The Angels' best threat to respond came in the bottom of the ninth, when Matt Thaiss's flyout off Trevor Megill carried a 14.4-point swing, extinguishing any remaining hope for a Los Angeles rally and closing out the shutout.
On the mound, the Brewers received exceptional performances across their staff. Tyler Anderson led all pitchers with a WPA of plus 35.8, followed by Freddy Peralta at plus 28.5 and Bryan Hudson at plus 23.0. Peralta was particularly effective through the sixth inning, where Logan O'Hoppe's groundout represented a minus 7.1-point swing against the Angels. Hudson then navigated the seventh and eighth with similar efficiency, stranding multiple threats and preserving what was ultimately an airtight victory for Milwaukee.
