The DiamondIQ model entered the night favoring Arizona at 59% and closed at 100%, a reflection of how thoroughly the Diamondbacks controlled the game's critical moments.
The decisive sequence came in the bottom of the fifth, when Arizona erupted for four runs against Connor Prielipp. Corbin Carroll ignited the frame with a double that added 10.8% to Arizona's win probability, and Ildemaro Vargas followed with a single that swung the probability by an additional 22.2%, the single largest win-probability play of the game. Minnesota briefly threatened in the top of the eighth when Royce Lewis hit a home run off Kevin Ginkel that added 14.7% from the Twins' perspective, but the rally was immediately neutralized when Tristan Gray hit into a strikeout double play on the very next at-bat, costing Minnesota 11.6% in win probability. Arizona answered in the bottom half when Corbin Carroll tripled off Travis Adams, a hit worth 12.8% in win probability that all but extinguished any remaining suspense.
