The Story
The Arizona Diamondbacks routed the Los Angeles Angels 8-1 at Chase Field on June 17, 2026, a result that left little doubt after a dominant second inning made the outcome all but certain. The DiamondIQ model entered the game giving Arizona a 65% win probability, and by the time the dust settled on the bottom of the second, that figure had climbed sharply toward the game's final reading of 100%.
The decisive stretch came in the bottom of the second inning against Angels starter Sam Aldegheri, when Arizona posted five runs to break the game open. The biggest single swing of the night belonged to Corbin Carroll, whose home run added 21.5% in win probability and served as the centerpiece of that rally. Tommy Troy followed with a triple that added another 8.9%, compounding the damage and pushing Arizona into an insurmountable position. Carroll finished as the game's top performer by WPA at plus-20.0 with a RE24 of plus-2.1, while Troy posted plus-12.4 WPA and plus-1.6 RE24. On the other side, a Nolan Arenado flyout in the bottom of the first had represented a missed opportunity, costing Arizona 7.2% in win probability, though it proved inconsequential given what followed.
Los Angeles showed brief resistance in the top of the first when Oswald Peraza grounded into a double play, a sequence that actually added 5.0% win probability to the Angels' ledger by limiting Arizona's early damage, giving Peraza a plus-6.5 WPA on the night despite his minus-0.8 RE24. Any remaining Angel momentum dissolved in the third, when Mike Trout grounded into a double play against Eduardo Rodriguez, a play that cost Los Angeles 7.1% in win probability. Rodriguez was among Arizona's top pitching contributors by WPA at plus-0.7, alongside José Fermin at plus-0.8, as the Diamondbacks' staff held the Angels to one run on six hits while committing no errors against Los Angeles's two on the night.
