The Milwaukee Brewers routed the Chicago White Sox 14-2 at American Family Field on March 26, 2026, in a game that was effectively decided before the midpoint. The DiamondIQ model entered with Milwaukee favored at 54% and closed at 100%, reflecting just how thoroughly the Brewers dismantled their opponent across nine innings. Chicago managed only 4 hits against Milwaukee's pitching staff and committed an error, while the Brewers put up 12 hits and crossed the plate 14 times without a single miscue in the field.
The decisive sequence came in the bottom of the second inning, when Milwaukee erupted for four runs against White Sox pitching and shifted the game's probability dramatically. William Contreras delivered the biggest single blow of the contest, a double off Shane Smith that added 17.7% to Milwaukee's win probability. Joey Ortiz followed with a single off Smith worth another 6.0%, and even a Christian Yelich groundout generated 5.8% in win probability as it drove in a run with the bases loaded. The Brewers continued to pile on with two-run frames in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, and three more in the seventh, leaving no doubt about the outcome. A Brice Turang strikeout cost Milwaukee 5.6% during that same second-inning rally, though the damage it limited was minimal in context.
Jacob Misiorowski led all pitchers with a WPA of plus 9.0%, anchoring a Milwaukee staff that held Chicago to just one run over the first eight innings. On the offensive side, Contreras finished as the game's top performer by WPA at plus 16.7% to go along with a RE24 of plus 1.5, while Ortiz posted plus 10.7% WPA and plus 1.5 RE24 of his own. Yelich contributed plus 8.3% WPA and plus 0.7 RE24, giving Milwaukee three clear standouts in what was a comprehensive team victory.
