The Story
The Washington Nationals routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-1 at Chase Field on June 5, 2026, handing the home side a decisive defeat that the DiamondIQ model's estimate reflected in full — Arizona entered with a 56% win probability and finished at 0%. Washington spread its 16 hits across eight of nine innings, scoring in six frames and delivering the knockout blow with a five-run sixth that put the game well beyond reach.
The third inning proved to be the critical turning point, and it was built on a sequence of high-impact plate appearances against Merrill Kelly. James Wood's home run added 8.5% to Washington's win probability, and Daylen Lile followed with a single that pushed the needle another 7.5%, the two biggest individual batting plays of the game. Jorbit Vivas contributed a double in that same frame worth 5.8% in win probability added. On Arizona's side, the model's two largest negative swings came in the first and second innings, where Corbin Carroll's lineout cost the Diamondbacks 6.6% and Geraldo Perdomo's flyout off Foster Griffin subtracted another 7.4%, snuffing out what little early momentum the home club generated.
Lile finished as the game's top offensive performer by win probability added at plus-15.7%, with a RE24 of plus-1.5, while Wood added plus-8.3% WPA and led all batters with a plus-1.7 RE24. Vivas rounded out the top three with a plus-4.7% WPA and the game's best RE24 among position players at plus-2.5. On the mound, Foster Griffin was the clear standout, accumulating plus-21.3% WPA in a performance that set the tone for Washington's comfortable wire-to-wire victory.
