Toronto Blue Jays at Chicago White Sox: Final Score & Recap

The Chicago White Sox walked off the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in ten innings at Rate Field on April 2, 2026, completing a comeback that unfolded almost entirely in the game's final frame. Chicago entered the tenth trailing and needing to erase a deficit manufactured by Toronto in the top half of the inning, where a fielding error on a ball off Seranthony Domínguez swung win probability 28.5 points in the Blue Jays' favor and set up what looked like a decisive cushion. The DiamondIQ model's estimate of a Chicago victory, which stood at 54 percent before first pitch, had been severely eroded by that point.

The bottom of the tenth unraveled quickly for Toronto closer Jeff Hoffman. Austin Hays' strikeout to begin the inning was the lone bright spot, as that out swung win probability 25.9 points toward Toronto, briefly stabilizing the situation. But Tristan Peters followed with a single that added 37.9 percentage points back to Chicago's side, and Derek Hill then delivered the walk-off blow, a single that swung win probability a game-high 44.4 points and pushed the DiamondIQ model's estimate to 100 percent in favor of the White Sox. Hill finished as the top performer by WPA at plus-44.4 percent. Earlier, Andrés Giménez had kept Chicago within striking distance with a home run off Jordan Leasure in the eighth that swung the win probability 26.2 points.

On the pitching side, Sean Burke led all arms with a WPA of plus-28.0 percent, providing the White Sox the stability necessary to stay in the game long enough for the late rally. George Springer was Toronto's most impactful player despite the loss, finishing with a WPA of plus-34.8 percent and an RE24 of plus-1.0, much of it attributable to his run-scoring benefit from the tenth-inning error. The Blue Jays ultimately left Rate Field with the loss, their two errors proving costly in a game decided by a margin of one run.
