The Story
The Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees 6-5 in twelve innings on July 29, 2026, at Rate Field, completing a comeback that began with the game knotted through the first six frames after New York scored four runs in the top of the first. The DiamondIQ model entered the game assigning each team a 50 percent chance of winning, and the Yankees appeared to be cruising toward a road victory before Chicago chipped away with a run in the seventh and three more in the eighth, the latter surge headlined by Munetaka Murakami's home run off Paul Blackburn that added 23.6 percent to the White Sox win probability and pulled them level.
The decisive sequence arrived in the eleventh inning, where the White Sox and Yankees exchanged a run apiece in a chaotic frame against Camilo Doval. Andrew Benintendi's walk with the bases loaded off Doval swung win probability 39.4 percent in Chicago's favor, the single largest positive swing of the night for either team, while Miguel Vargas contributed a groundout that moved the needle 23.7 percent as Chicago manufactured a run. Luisangel Acuña's groundout cost the Yankees 25.9 percent win probability in that same frame. The Yankees answered with a run in the top of the twelfth off Jordan Hicks, with José Caballero's single adding 32.0 percent to New York's chances, before Chicago walked it off in the bottom half to close the game at 6-5.
Among the standout performers by the DiamondIQ model's metrics, Chase Meidroth led all players with a WPA of plus-38.7 percent to go along with a RE24 of plus-0.6, while Benintendi finished at plus-37.9 percent WPA and a RE24 of plus-1.3. Murakami contributed plus-30.1 percent WPA on the strength of his eighth-inning home run. On the pitching side, Cam Schlittler was the most impactful arm for Chicago with a WPA of plus-25.4 percent, supported by Fernando Cruz at plus-9.2 percent and Trevor Richards at plus-0.9 percent. The model's estimate of Chicago's win probability moved from 50 percent before the first pitch to 100 percent by the game's final out.
