The Story
The Chicago White Sox shut out the Los Angeles Angels 6-0 at Angel Stadium on May 4, 2026, collecting 16 hits while holding the Angels to just five. The DiamondIQ model's estimate had Los Angeles entering with a 41 percent chance of winning at home, a figure that eroded steadily before reaching zero by game's end.
The decisive sequence came in the fourth inning, when the White Sox broke a scoreless tie against Angels starter José Soriano with a pair of home runs. Munetaka Murakami's blast carried the single largest win-probability swing of the game, adding 14.8 percent to Chicago's chances, and Miguel Vargas followed with another solo shot that added 5.4 percent, effectively removing Los Angeles from serious contention before the game reached its midpoint. The Angels had their own moments of opportunity that went unfulfilled. Adam Frazier grounded into a double play in the bottom of the third, a swing of negative 5.8 percent for the home side, and Jo Adell's strikeout in the second against Davis Martin cost Los Angeles another 3.6 percent. Travis d'Arnaud's single in the third added 3.0 percent for the Angels but amounted to little against Martin's control of the game.
Davis Martin was the dominant individual performer on the night, finishing with a cumulative WPA of plus 25.6 percent as he held the Angels offense largely at bay. Murakami led all position players with a WPA of plus 14.4 percent and a RE24 of plus 2.5, while d'Arnaud contributed plus 5.7 percent WPA despite his team's shutout loss. Mitch Farris added 1.5 percent WPA in relief as Chicago completed a clean, efficient road victory.
