U.S. Baseball Team Rebounds from Italy Shock, Defeats Canada 5-3 to Reach WBC Semifinals

The United States defeated Canada 5-3 on Friday night in Houston to advance to the World Baseball Classic semifinals, rebounding from a shocking 8-6 loss to Italy in pool play that had threatened their tournament survival. Aaron Judge doubled while Pete Crow-Armstrong and Brice Turang each contributed two hits in the victory, with the team demonstrating renewed focus after manager Mark DeRosa's premature comments about advancing had drawn criticism. The U.S. will face the Dominican Republic in Sunday's semifinal in Miami, with Paul Skenes starting against Luis Severino in what Manager DeRosa called "one of the best games of all time." This marks the team's third straight appearance in the WBC semifinals and fourth overall.
