The Story
The Athletics defeated the Colorado Rockies 7-5 on June 13, 2026, at Las Vegas Ballpark, with the DiamondIQ model's estimate moving from a 67 percent pre-game home win probability to a final certainty of 100 percent as Oakland pulled away across the middle innings.
The decisive sequence began in the bottom of the fourth, when Zack Gelof hit a home run off Kyle Freeland that swung win probability 17.3 percent in Oakland's favor, giving the Athletics a cushion after the Rockies had briefly answered with a Brett Sullivan home run off Joey Estes in the third, the top play from Colorado's side at plus 9.7 percent. The Athletics then broke the game open in the bottom of the sixth with three runs, highlighted by Tyler Soderstrom's double off Jaden Hill at plus 16.1 percent and Alika Williams's RBI single off Freeland at plus 13.8 percent, with a Carlos Cortes hit by pitch off Hill adding another 10.1 percent to Oakland's mounting probability. That three-run sixth pushed the Athletics to a lead the Rockies could not overcome, as Colorado managed no runs over the final three innings against a bullpen that kept the door shut.
Gelof led all position players with a plus 24.0 percent WPA and plus 2.0 RE24, while Williams contributed plus 19.5 percent WPA and plus 1.9 RE24 out of the six hole. Soderstrom added plus 13.5 percent WPA. On the mound, Mark Leiter Jr. paced the Oakland pitching staff at plus 8.1 percent WPA, followed by Scott Barlow at plus 7.2 percent and Elvis Alvarado at plus 6.3 percent. The Athletics finished with 11 hits and no errors against Colorado's 8 hits and one error, a clean execution that matched Oakland's commanding probability advantage throughout the contest.
