#456---Puerto Rico v. Mexico, 3/11/2017 (World Baseball Classic)


Each of Puerto Rico’s middle infielders knocked in three runs on homers (Francisco Lindor on two, Javier Baez one) to power a win over Mexico in the first round of the WBC. Baez’s shot came with two outs in the ninth off Joakim Soria to give Edwin Diaz a much more comfortable margin to work with in the ninth. After Diaz allowed two free passes and got a strikeout, the game ended on a looper back to him on which he was able to double Mexico’s Diaz off second.
