Mexico vs. Canada Game Highlights | 2023 World Baseball Classic

Mexico and Canada. Winner goes to Miami. Big moments for both teams. This is essentially a Game 7. Winner goes to Miami. It's Disney. Triple-A with the Mets and the Angels last year. He made six starts from 34 games overall. Rosarena, big numbers here. Five hits, three doubles, and a home run. Rosarena checks his swing, is on his way to first, shaking that right hand. Call stands there. Yeah, not enough to overturn. Yeah, it wasn't that clear. Meneses has been enormous. Rosarena still at first, and a little roller up third. Toro charges, and he's got no play. And Mexico has set up first and second with one out, and Rowdy Tellez is coming up. That's a balk. So, Strisny with a huge mistake, a balk, and now the double play is gone. Infield's back, and Tellez, soft serve. Base hit. Rosarena scores. Meneses scores. 2-0 Mexico, and, boy, does that balk hurt. So, Strisny sliding stop there. Toro out there, out there. So, Canada does hold it at just two. Jose Urquidy is with the Houston Astros, four big-league seasons with Houston, a 24-13 career record. Julian rips that one. Verdugo slid by him, and Julian, who has been a tone setter for Canada, little antler action, is at second base. 2-2 on Abraham Toro. Julian bluffs. Toro, line drive, base hit. Center field. Julian, a late start. Wasn't sure if that was going to get in. O'Neal has been Canada's best hitter. Breaking ball. That was a strike, and it wasn't called a strike. The home plate umpire, Carlos Torres, putting his arms out. Urquidy is glaring in at him. Jared Young. It's a fly ball to the left, not too deep. Arrozarena charging, is there, makes the catch, and nobody is going anywhere. And a big out to get for Urquidy. UJ's prospect, Arlo Lopez, triple in the eighth. Yesterday, Canada has loaded the bases. Line drive, in a center field. That's a base hit. Julian will score a run across, and they're still loaded. Naylor swings and misses. Urquidy gets a big strikeout. Roller, and that's Trejo on the shift, who goes to first and gets the out. Canada gets one back. Zastrizny walks Barnes, and that's going to bring Arrozarena up. Arrozarena hammers that ball, and it's going to get to the wall. Barnes around second, headed for third, and he's going to score. Mexico, 3-1. How you like me now? They were singing this guy's name in the streets after the game on Sunday, and with good reason. Drives it, left field. Oh, at the wall. Robson went up and got it. Read it perfectly off the bat. Gets back to the warning truck and times his jump perfectly. Boy, look at the focus in those eyes as he stays on it. Takes extra bases away from Meneses. Mexico trying to put some distance between themselves and Canada. Ground ball, Lopez, Julian, to Young. And another double play. They got a big one to end the first. Jared Young, Otto Lopez, bottom third, and swing and a miss. That's rolled up the middle. Might be two. Trejo flips. Arias to first in time. And Mexico, good defense behind Jose Urquidy. All right, 3-2. Let's see if he gets something to hit. Check swing, did he go? No swing. Now you got the lefty, and you're probably going to get Alvarez out of the pen. We expected to see him, and he arrives with runners first and second. Two outs. Alex Verdugo is lined out, bounced out. Camp shot, little looper, left field. Robson lost it and then found it and makes the catch. That was high anxiety in left field. Bo Naylor, Owen Casey, Denzel Clark. Naylor drives that left center field. Hits it well. That ball's gone. Even Urquidy was stunned. We tell you that Bo Naylor's one of the top catching prospects in all of baseball. Jacob Robson, swing and a miss. Urquidy gives up a solo shot, keeps the lead, dances off the mound. And this is the guy they were hopeful of getting into the middle of the game that could give him three, maybe four innings. 2-1 pitch is in the air. Shallow right. Casey is there and makes the catch. Andrew Albers has picked up where Philippe Oman left off. Slicing liner, a Rosarito on the run. Adrian Martinez in relief of Jose Urquidy. Mexico protecting. Canada's trying to do something they've never done in the World Baseball Classic. They've never advanced. Breaking ball, fly ball, center field, not real deep, and it's going to fall. Base hit. Runner going to third. Throw from Clark, not in time, and safe there. Boy, what a good read by Arias, the base runner. And not a great defensive sequence at all for Canada. And they're loaded. And it's a Rosarito who's coming up. Ground ball. That's fair. Thomas scores. Bars coming home. Mexico, 6-2. What a player. We have seen him perform at this level in the World Series. Up the middle. That's a base hit. 7-2. And you get these RBI guys to the plate with runners on. More often than not, they have been able to cash them in. Give them an in-field hit. Runner coming home. Tapper first. The throw, the tag, he's out. Young got rid of it quickly. Naylor with a sweep tag. It was bang, bang, and certainly will be looked at. Jared Young playing first base. Freddie Freeman injured himself, and he makes a nice throw. And look at Naylor. There's the tag before he gets to home. 3-2 coming. And that's high. And guess who gets to hit with the bases loaded again. Well, he hit him. That's an RBI. It sounded like it may have clipped that elbow guard. To center, Clark makes the catch, tagging third. And scoring is Thomas. 9-2, Mexico. And Adrian Martinez has been really good, too, out of the pen. He hasn't given up a hit. Just one base runner. Denzel Clark at the plate, and he swings and misses. And Martinez is working quickly and efficiently. Adrian Martinez, tip of the cap for him. Well, I would be relaxed, too, if I was Randy Rosarena. He's only driven in, what, five runs? Nine in the four games. Julian might make the all-pool seed team. Whoa, that is a high, deep fly ball. And Verdugo going back. He's on the team, Buck. Julian with a solo homer. Right on cue. Tellez, right field. On road, he leaves the yard. Finally, he gets to wear the home run somber. I love that. One out away. 1-2 pitch. Strike three called. Mexico on their way to Miami. Randy Rosarena at this ball club, the number one seed at a pool seed. And it's on to Miami to the quarterfinals.
