Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicago White Sox: Final Score & Recap

The Los Angeles Dodgers dismantled the Chicago White Sox 7-1 at Rate Field on June 13, 2026, holding Chicago to a single hit across nine innings. The DiamondIQ model's estimate entered the game giving the home side a 44 percent chance of winning, but that figure collapsed to zero by the final out, a reflection of how thoroughly Los Angeles controlled the contest from the opening frame. The Dodgers struck for three runs in the first inning and never relinquished the upper hand, adding a run in the third, one more in the sixth, and two insurance runs in the eighth before Chicago managed its lone run in the bottom of the ninth.

The decisive early moments were shaped by Yoshinobu Yamamoto's dominance and Kyle Tucker's relentless presence. Yamamoto's strikeout of Chase Meidroth in the bottom of the second shifted win probability by 6.3 percent in Los Angeles's favor, and Andrew Benintendi's groundout to close the first inning carried a 5.5 percent swing in the same direction, signaling how efficiently Yamamoto was retiring Chicago's lineup. On the offensive side, Tucker's single off Sean Burke in the top of the third was the game's largest single-play swing at plus 7.5 percent, helping extend the Dodgers' advantage and effectively burying any realistic comeback path for the White Sox.

Yamamoto was the clear standout performer, finishing with a plus 31.9 percent WPA that dwarfed every other contributor in this game, a testament to how thoroughly he neutralized a White Sox lineup that finished with just one hit. Tucker led all position players with plus 17.2 percent WPA and a RE24 of plus 2.4, making him a consistent thorn in Chicago's side through multiple plate appearances. Max Muncy posted the game's highest RE24 among batters at plus 4.7, while Andy Pages contributed plus 5.9 percent WPA. The DiamondIQ model leans heavily toward crediting Yamamoto's performance as the structural reason Los Angeles's win probability climbed so steadily and so early.
