The Story
The New York Yankees handled the Colorado Rockies decisively on September 10, 2026, at Yankee Stadium, winning 10-3 in a game the DiamondIQ model entered at 72 percent in favor of the home side and closed at 100 percent. The Yankees scored in four of nine innings, with their most damaging stretch coming in the bottom of the second and the decisive seventh. Anthony Volpe's single off Ryan Feltner in the second inning carried a win-probability swing of plus 4.5 percent, helping New York build an early two-run advantage it would never relinquish. Colorado managed a run of its own in the top half of that frame on a Kyle Karros home run off Max Fried, a swing that added 4.5 percent to the Rockies' win probability and briefly kept the game within reach.
The seventh inning effectively ended any remaining drama. Jake McCarthy's triple off Brent Headrick in the top half represented the single largest win-probability swing of the game, adding 10.2 percent for Colorado, but the Rockies were unable to convert the opportunity fully, as Hunter Goodman's flyout off Headrick immediately swung the needle back down 7.2 percent. New York then answered emphatically in the bottom of the seventh, erupting for six runs and turning what had been a two-run contest into a rout. Spencer Jones's single off Zach Agnos contributed a plus 6.7 percent swing during that rally, punctuating the Yankees' offensive outburst. Colorado finished with eight hits and no errors, but the final line of 3 runs on 8 hits told the story of a team that struggled to string together damage at the right moments.
Individually, Spencer Jones led all position players by the DiamondIQ model's accounting with plus 7.0 percent WPA and a RE24 of plus 1.2, while Volpe posted plus 6.3 percent WPA and the game's best RE24 mark among hitters at plus 4.1, reflecting his consistent run-environment contributions throughout the night. Cody Bellinger added plus 5.9 percent WPA. On the mound, John Schreiber was the most impactful arm by the DiamondIQ model's estimate, registering plus 7.3 percent WPA in relief, with Ryan Yarbrough and Michael Fulmer each contributing plus 5.2 and plus 5.0 percent respectively as New York's bullpen locked down the final innings without issue.
