New York Yankees at Chicago White Sox: Final Score & Recap

The Chicago White Sox walked off the New York Yankees 2-1 in eleven innings on July 30, 2026, at Rate Field, a game that remained scoreless through nine full frames before unraveling in extra innings. The DiamondIQ model opened the night with a near-even split, assigning Chicago a 51 percent pre-game win probability, and that figure held steady through an extended pitching duel before swinging decisively in the White Sox favor over the final two innings.

The decisive sequence came in the bottom of the eleventh against Fernando Cruz. After Colson Montgomery's strikeout cost Chicago 20.5 percent in win probability, Sam Antonacci answered with a single that swung the needle back 20.5 percent in the White Sox favor. The game ended moments later when Tristan Peters drew a walk off Cruz, a plate appearance the DiamondIQ model credited with a 35.9 percent swing — the single largest win-probability play of the night. Peters finished as the top performer by a wide margin, accumulating a combined 49.9 percent WPA and a RE24 of plus-1.1. The groundwork for the winning rally had actually been laid an inning earlier, when Andrew Benintendi's single off Angel Chivilli in the tenth registered a 20.4 percent swing, and Braden Montgomery's strikeout in that same frame contributed a 23.7 percent positive swing for Chicago by preserving the tie.

On the mound, Ryan Weathers led all pitchers with a 37.7 percent WPA contribution, followed by Sean Burke at plus-28.9 percent and Sean Newcomb at plus-18.9 percent, a trio whose collective performance kept New York's lone run, which arrived in the top of the tenth, from being enough. The final tallies were identical in hits — six apiece — but Chicago's pitching staff limited the Yankees to a single error-free night at the plate while the White Sox manufactured just enough offense in the eleventh to close it out.
