Trea Turner hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning that lifted the United States over Venezuela 9-7 Saturday night and into the World Baseball Classic semifinals.
Mookie Betts led off the first with an infield single, then the speedster raced from first to third on Trout's single to center, scoring when he forced a throwing error
“Individually, I think this is probably the biggest hit that I’ve had ... probably right up there with any hit I’ve ever had,” Turner said. David Bednar, the fifth of seven U.S. pitchers, got the win and Ryan Pressly finished with three straight outs for the save. “Unfortunately, this is baseball,” Venezuela manager Omar López said. “We have to accept this and as men, we have to keep our heads up. It is not easy, especially when they came back in the game.”Salvador Perez drove in the tying run with a line-drive double that sneaked just inside the left-field foul line.
