In the quarterfinals, the U.S. earned a 5-3 win over Canada. The USA hasn’t been as dominant as expected so far in the tournament. It beat Brazil 15-1 and Great Britain 9-1, but since then, it has 5-3 wins over Canada and Mexico, and an 8-6 loss to Italy. Team USA has now booked a matchup with the Dominican Republic in the semifinals. Buckle up. One to Watch: The D.R. ran roughshod over the Republic of Korea in the quarterfinals, winning 10-0. In that win, the D.R. got RBIs from Fernando Tatis Jr., Ketel Marte, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Manny Machado, Junior Caminero, Julio Rodriguez and Austin Wells. In short, the stars are starring. The D.R. has scored at least 10 runs in four of its five WBC games. Will the USA be able to put a stop to the offensive onslaught? Japan Out: The defending champs were ousted in the quarters by Venezuela. Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up two earned runs in four innings, including a lead-off homer to Ronald Acuna Jr. Shohei Ohtani returned the favor, hitting a lead-off homer against Ranger Suarez, and the Japanese were actually up 5-1 through four innings. They couldn’t maintain that lead, however, as Venezuela scored two in the fifth, three in the sixth and tacked on one more in the eighth.
