The Story
The Arizona Diamondbacks held off the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 at Chase Field on June 15, 2026, in a game that hinged on a decisive seventh inning. Arizona entered the day as a heavy favorite, with the DiamondIQ model's estimate placing the home side at a 65 percent pre-game win probability, and by the final out that figure had climbed to 100 percent.
The Angels briefly seized momentum in the fifth when Mike Trout connected on a home run off Ryne Nelson, a swing that shifted win probability 12.4 points in Los Angeles's favor and briefly tightened what had been a comfortable Arizona cushion. The Angels' best chance to extend the lead came and went in the seventh, however, when Zach Neto grounded into a double play off Nelson, a sequence that swung win probability 12.2 points against Los Angeles and effectively extinguished the rally before it started. Arizona answered immediately in the bottom half against Walbert Ureña. Geraldo Perdomo's two-run double led off the inning with a 14.4-point win-probability swing, and Pavin Smith followed with a home run worth an additional 8.2 points, giving Arizona the lead it would not relinquish.
Perdomo was the game's most impactful offensive player by the DiamondIQ model's measure, finishing at plus-15.2 percent WPA and plus-1.4 RE24, while Trout matched the RE24 figure at plus-1.4 despite his team's loss, reflecting just how critical his solo shot was in keeping Los Angeles competitive. On the pitching side, Ryne Nelson led all pitchers at plus-15.3 percent WPA, a testament to how well he limited damage in the innings that mattered most. Jonathan Loáisiga and Paul Sewald each contributed positive outings in relief, adding 8.1 and 6.3 WPA points respectively as Arizona closed out a one-run victory on eight hits and no errors.
