WBC Scores:
The United States began their World Baseball Classic run with a win against Canada, beating them with a score of 5-1. Andrew McCutchen and Nolan Arenado each had two hits for Team USA, while Chris Archer pitched two perfect innings to start the game.
The win against Canada puts Team USA in a good position to advance in the tournament, but they will need to continue their winning ways against Colombia. Colombia, who is making their first appearance in the World Baseball Classic, lost their opening game to the Dominican Republic with a score of 9-3.
If Team USA can secure a win against Colombia, they will move on to the next round of the tournament, where they will face the winner of a Mexico vs. Puerto Rico game. With a roster full of talent, Team USA has the potential to make a deep run in the 2017 World Baseball Classic.
