The Story
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-4 at Coors Field on August 19, 2026, with the decisive damage done in extra innings. The DiamondIQ model's estimate opened the night giving Colorado a 34 percent chance of winning at home, but that figure fell to zero by the final out as Los Angeles pulled away in the tenth.
The game turned on two moments separated by a few innings that each carried enormous win-probability weight. In the bottom of the seventh, Mickey Moniak connected on a home run off Alex Vesia that swung the win probability 31.4 points in Colorado's favor, erasing what had been a Dodgers advantage and giving the Rockies genuine life heading to the late innings. The Dodgers had taken an early edge in the fourth when Enrique Hernández went deep off Kyle Freeland for a 14.8-point swing, and Los Angeles had built a 4-2 lead before Moniak's blast and the broader seventh-inning rally tied the game. The deadlock held through the ninth and sent the game to the tenth. There, Teoscar Hernández delivered the most consequential single swing of the night, a base hit off Jimmy Herget that added 32.0 points of win probability to the Dodgers' ledger, and Mookie Betts followed with his own single for another 16.7-point boost, plating the two runs that ultimately decided the outcome. Jordan Beck's strikeout to end the Colorado tenth on a 14.4-point swing sealed it for Los Angeles.
Moniak finished as the game's top batter by the DiamondIQ model's measure despite playing for the losing side, posting a combined WPA of plus-42.8 with an RE24 of plus-2.0. Teoscar Hernández and Betts led the Dodgers offensively at plus-24.8 and plus-23.7 WPA respectively, with Betts also generating a plus-1.6 RE24. On the pitching side, Jordan Romano, Jack Dreyer, and Jaden Hill were the most impactful arms by WPA, contributing plus-13.5, plus-10.9, and plus-10.6 respectively as the Dodgers bullpen held Colorado at bay long enough for the offense to take over in the tenth.
